The Estonian branch of Swedbank is no longer under investigation regarding suspected money laundering and other criminal activities.
The Sweden-based banking group announced Thursday the Estonian Public Prosecutor’s Office completed its probe into Swedbank AS after determining “no crime has been committed.”
“With the decision of the prosecutor in Estonia, we can leave yet another investigation of historical shortcomings behind us,” said Tomas Hedberg, head of special task force and vice president of Swedbank, in a press release.
