In search of evidence of money laundering allegations, investigators raided the Deutsche Bank offices on Thursday morning.
A total of 170 officials from the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor's Office, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the Tax Investigation Department and the Federal Police visited the headquarters of the largest German bank in Frankfurt.
On Twitter, Deutsche Bank confirmed the raid. As a result, the police operation is related to the so-called position of the Panama Papers.
According to the prosecutor, the purpose of the large-scale action was to build six buildings in Frankfurt, Eschborn and Gross-Umstadt.
The employees of the bank would have helped the customers to create so-called offshore companies in tax havens.
In the process, money from criminal offenses should have been transferred to Deutsche Bank accounts without the bank repaid suspicious transaction reports.
