One of the whistleblowers of the Swedbank money laundering scandal is Mari-Liis Soe. She found that the bank was still serving suspicious clients in 2017.
Mari-Liis Soe worked in the field of anti-money laundering activities. She submitted tasks to Swedbank regarding suspicious clients. The bank's management was not happy about this.
The documents show that Swedbank did not quickly stop dealing with suspicious clients. Mari-Liis Soe took these documents under her control to protect herself.
Later, Mari-Liis Soe's husband Andres Kurg found these documents. He shared them with several institutions. This caused major problems for Mari-Liis Soe.
The Financial Supervision Authority launched an investigation into Mari-Liis Soe. She may face a fine. Mari-Liis Soe says she had the right to use the documents.
Swedbank has not commented on the incident. Everything indicates that the bank made mistakes with suspicious clients.
