The investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Prosecutor’s Office in New York, according to Dagens Industri, citing anonymous sources.
Last summer, the Swedish Ministry of Justice received a formal request for legal assistance from the US Department of Justice in connection with the ongoing money laundering investigation in the United States, the newspaper writes.
None of the banks has yet commented on this news from Dagens Industri.
The publication caused the stock prices of all three banks to fall on the stock exchange.
Swedbank and Danske Bank have previously announced that they are being investigated in the United States for suspicious cash flows through their Baltic operations.
All three banks have been fined for violating anti-money laundering rules in the Baltic States.
