The Estonian prosecutor's investigation of Swedbank AS is closed
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.
