Danske Bank
Danske is already under investigation in several other countries and the threat of hefty fines has sent its shares plunging almost 50 percent since March last year.
Denmark’s largest bank said in a statement on Thursday that it had “received requests for information from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with a criminal investigation relating to the bank’s Estonian branch”.
In May, the FSA denounced "serious shortcomings" at Danske Bank's Estonian branch and ordered it to raise its capital requirement by five billion kroner (670 million euros) due to increased risks.
