Swedbank AS in Estonia has today been informed that the investigation conducted
by the State Prosecutor´s Office shows that no crime has been committed and that
the investigation therefore is being closed. The investigation pertained to the
years between 2014 and 2016 examined whether money was laundered within Swedbank
AS.
The investigation began after the Estonian Financial Supervisory Authority in
2019 November handed over part of its investigation into Swedbank AS to the
Estonian Public Prosecutor's Office. Swedbank AS has cooperated fully with the
authority.
"With the decision of the prosecutor in Estonia, we can leave yet another
investigation of historical shortcomings behind us," says Tomas Hedberg, Head of
Special Task Force and Vice President of Swedbank.
