Danish police raided the Copenhagen offices of Nordea Bank Abp last week as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering at Scandinavia’s biggest bank.

The search by the Danish State Prosecutor for Serious Economic and International Crime was related to an investigation into “anti-money laundering compliance questions” revolving around former customers of its international branch, Nordea said in a statement Monday. The Helsinki-based bank said it’s cooperating with the authorities.
