Nordea Bank involved in money laundering scandal
The largest financial group in the Nordic countries, Nordea Bank, banned the use of Bitcoin and has been caught in a money laundering scandal
Nordea Bank, the largest financial institution in the Nordic countries, banned Bitcoin and has been caught in a considerable money laundering scandal for allegedly receiving dirty money from two banks in the Baltic.
A state publication in Finland, called Yle, reported that financial authorities in Sweden received a report with evidence to support allegations of money laundering against Nordea Bank.
Nine months ago it prohibited its employees from buying and selling cryptocurrencies like bitcoin due to its unregulated nature. Therefore, the entity expresses its concern about the possibility of using digital assets to launder money and the impact it can generate on investors.
With regard to the charge against the bank, it was confirmed that in the coming weeks the Finnish authorities are expected to cooperate with the Swedish authorities to begin a full investigation.
According to the reports of the main media of Sweden, more than 365 individual accounts of Nordea received payments of more than 150 million euros, equivalent to 171 million dollars, of fictitious companies that supposedly carried out illegitimate operations.
