In response to the news that the European Banking Authority is investigating a possible breach of Union law by the Estonian and Danish financial services authorities in relation to the Danske Bank scandal, Nienke Palstra, Anti-Corruption Campaigner at Global Witness said:
"The sheer scale of the money laundering scandal at Danske Bank in Estonia has shaken Europe to its core. Today's news is a positive step towards rebuilding trust in the EU's ability to fight corruption, but we must see Danish and Estonian authorities, Danske Bank, and senior bankers held to account to make sure this never happens again.”
