Deutsche Bank now owns 94.1% of Postbank shares, previously group said it plans to retain "no more than 50%" of the company. The rest of the shares must either be sold to investors, or to go into free circulation on the stock exchange.

House of cards

The plans Postbank sale became known in late April, turned around the financial fraud scandal at Deutsche Bank. According to the Financial Times, this was the cause of the business restructuring and change of the group management: criminal investigations caused mistrust of customers and billions of dollars in fines shaped hole in the capital and led to a record in 10 years quarterly loss, which, according to the forecast of Deutsche Bank, in the third quarter will be € 6,2 billion. Deutsche Bank has recorded losses, including the difference between the carrying value of its shares Postbank and the amount the company expects to gain for a partial sale of the package (the share of write-offs by Postbank in the general statement is not disclosed).

April 23, the day before aboutyavleniya of the Postbank sale, pre-trial agreement ended a case of manipulation of interbank interest rates (primarily the British LIBOR), which lasted from 2011. Deutsche Bank has undertaken to pay the financial regulators of Great Britain and the United States a total of $ 2.5 billion fine. Traders at Deutsche Bank in collusion with members of other major banks served British regulator distorted information about loans in the interbank market, thereby artificially understating or overstating the total bet.

After the scandal with the distortion of LIBOR, in May, Deutsche Bank said that starting an internal investigation of possible fraud in the Moscow office of the bank. Management Corporation and the Federal Republic of Germany's financial regulator BaFin alerted nature of some OTC transactions: first, the bank sold the securities clients in Russia for rubles and a few seconds later redeemed them on the OTC market in London for dollars. The origin of the money in this case remained unknown. With such a "mirror" transaction customers and credit institutions remained virtually everyone at their assets, but its implementation allows customers to transfer Mr.personal in another currency into another country. Despite the fact that such a transaction is formally considered legitimate, in this case, the top management of Deutsche Bank suspected money laundering.

Initially, the German edition of Manager Magazin sources reported "hundreds of millions of euros" suspicious transactions, in June, we are talking already about $ 6 billion (€ 5,4 billion). Source Bloomberg reported at the time that an internal investigation group started at the request of Bank of Russia in the autumn of 2014. A few days later the head office of Deutsche Bank were searched, however, a bank representative said RBC that they are not related to possible fraud in Russia. In fact, interest in the prosecutor's office led to tax evasion in the trade in securities in one of the banking subsidiaries of the corporation.

In July, an investigation joined American investigators: the Department of Financial Services State of New York sent the bank a request to provide information about clients of the Moscow representative and transfer of business correspondence. Americans are interested, in particular, could the Russian clients in such a way to circumvent the economic sanctionsWest.

In September, Deutsche Bank announced the optimization of its Russian subsidiary: corporate finance department and securities trading will be completely closed for several months. Prior to this source at the bank, RBC reported that these areas do you plan to transfer to London, leaving in Moscow only the brokerage, custody and advisory services (about 40% of the proceeds of the Moscow branch in 2013). At least 200 of the 1,300 employees of the bank in Russia is waiting for the reduction.

Finally, in mid-October, sources told Bloomberg that US regulators confirmed suspicions among Russian clients Deutsche Bank, which might be involved in money laundering, were those fallen under US financial sanctions: primarily businessmen Arkady and Boris Rotenberg. In this indication, they are the persons involved in the US investigation is not, adds the publication.
