COPENHAGEN, April 20 (Reuters) - The United States of
America and the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board
(FRTIB) have filed a lawsuit against Danske Bank and
its former CEO in the Copenhagen city court, according to the
attorney representing the parties.
Shares in Danske Bank fell around 8% after the
news, which was first reported by the business daily Borsen.
The suit is linked to Danske's involvement in a major money
laundering scandal, according to Borsen.
It said the parties were initially claiming compensation of
10 million Danish crowns ($1.62 million), but that the number
could rise to hundreds of millions.
