The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has intensified its investigation into Deutsche Bank’s involvement in Danske Bank money laundering scandal, Reuters reports.

One source familiar with the matter stated the DoJ has established a new line of inquiry into whether Deutsche Bank helped transport tainted money from Danske into the US.

DoJ officials have also begun working with Frankfurt state prosecutors as well as those in Estonia, the sources claimed. Frankfurt prosecutors are looking into Deutsche’s role in processing payments for Danske Bank.

Last year, Danske Bank was found of money laundering after it was uncovered €200bn had flowed from russia and other ex-soviet states through an Estonian branch, for nine years. Since then, actions have been taken to rectify the situation and stop it happening again.

Earlier this year, German authorities have raided Deutsche Bank’s headquarters in search of information related to the Danske Bank money laundering scandal.
