Rabobank, the second largest bank in the Netherlands, is being investigated by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service for potential violations of the country’s anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) law.
The bank is “fully cooperating” with the probe, it said in a press release Wednesday. Rabobank said it could not provide any further information on the matter.
Rabobank’s alleged AML/CFT shortcomings date back to at least September 2018, when the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) ordered Rabobank to improve its customer due diligence practices.
