Baku / 20.12.18 / Turan: In Estonia, 10 people involved in the scandal for laundering dirty money were detained through the local branch of the Danish Danske Bank.
According to the Estonian prosecutor's office, this is the first group of detainees in the case. In Denmark, Estonia, Great Britain and the United States, an investigation is underway to launder 200 billion euros (229 billion dollars) through this bank.
A September report from Danske said there were 42 former employees suspected of illegal operations.
A year ago, the international journalistic investigative network published a report: "The Landromat of Azerbaijan" on transfers of money through the Estonian branch of Danske Bank to European politicians and deputies in order to lobby the interests of the Azerbaijani authorities. -16D-
