COPENHAGEN/BRUSSELS - National banking supervisors who control the European Union banking watchdog effectively forced it to clear financial regulators in Estonia and Denmark, who were investigated in relation to suspected money laundering activities by Danske Bank, a member of the European parliament said on Wednesday.
Danish and Estonian financial regulators have publicly blamed each other for the Danske Bank money laundering scandal, after Denmark’s largest bank last year admitted that 200 billion euros of suspicious transactions flowed through its Estonian branch between 2007 and 2015. Giegold, who sits in the EU parliament’s committee on financial crime, called the decision “scandalous” and urged the EU Commission to continue the inquiry into a possible breach of EU laws by the Danish and Estonian authorities.
“Even if no laws were formally breached, this still leaves unanswered whether regulators lived up to their responsibility and reacted to any suspicions,” said Jeppe Kofod, a Dane who heads the European Parliament’s Special Committee on Tax Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance.
