Ex-ABN Banker Running Danske Says He Knows Nothing of Dutch Case

The chief executive officer of Danske Bank A/S distanced himself from his former employer, ABN Amro Bank NV, after the Dutch firm said it was the target of a criminal probe involving alleged failures to screen clients and report potential money laundering.
Chris Vogelzang, who was an executive at ABN until early 2017, started as the Danske CEO in June. He was brought on board to help repair the Danish bank’s reputation following an Estonian money-laundering scandal that brought down his predecessor and set off multiple criminal investigations of Danske.
