Deutsche Bank Offices Raided in Money Laundering Probe; DBK.DE Slides

German prosecutors raided Deutsche Bank offices on January 29, 2026, as part of a money laundering investigation tied to the bank’s handling of high-risk clients. The Frankfurt Public Prosecutor’s Office confirmed the raids targeted “suspicious transaction reporting failures.” Search warrants were executed at multiple locations, including Frankfurt headquarters. Deutsche Bank stated it is cooperating fully and emphasized no charges have been filed. The bank’s shares (DBK.DE) fell 4.2% in after-hours trading following the news. This marks the latest regulatory scrutiny for Deutsche Bank, which paid $150 million in 2020 to settle U.S. allegations over Epstein-related transactions. European financial regulators are now reviewing whether internal controls were bypassed or weakened.
