Some senior executives of Deutsche Bank (DBKGn. DE) reportedly rejected suggestions from anti-money laundering experts within the bank to prevent transactions involving entities controlled by President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, from being reported to the government, which Deutsche Bank denied.
"Investigators have never been prevented from reporting potentially suspicious activities. In addition, it is absolutely wrong to say that anyone is reassigned or dismissed in order to eliminate problems involving any customer, "Deutsche Bank said in a statement on Monday.
The New York Times on Sunday quoted five Deutsche Bank employees and former employees as reporting that some transactions triggered computer system alerts aimed at detecting illegal activities, some of which involved Trump's now abolished foundation.
According to the report, the compliance staff who inspected the transactions prepared so-called suspicious activity reports, which they believed should be sent to the Department responsible for monitoring financial crimes in the Ministry of Finance.
