Beginning in February 2019, the press began reporting on the Swedish and Estonian financial watchdogs' joint investigation following a report linking Swedbank to a Baltic money laundering scandal involving Danske Bank.

Since then, the scandal has deepened.  The New York Department of Financial Services reportedly opened an investigation and, on March 28, 2019, Bloomberg reported Swedbank fired its CEO over the money laundering allegations.

By March 28, 2019, the price of SWDBY has fallen over 30%.

"We're focused on investors' losses, money laundering events as they unfold, and the extent to which investors may have been misled," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Whistleblowers:  Persons with non-public information regarding Swedbank should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.  Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.  For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 510-725-3000 or email SWDBY@hbsslaw.com.
