A Lithuanian woman was handed four years and one month in prison by a Danish court on Thursday after pleading guilty to money laundering through Danske Bank's Estonian branch, Danish police said. The 49-year-old woman last week told a Copenhagen court that she helped launder around 4 billion euros ($4.2 billion) via 40 limited partnerships, all of which had bank accounts in Danske Bank's now-shuttered Estonian branch, between 2008 and 2016.
Danske Bank is separately being investigated by authorities in several countries after its involvement in one of the world's biggest money-laundering scandals in which more than 200 billion euros ($211 billion) in suspicious transactions flowed through its Estonian branch. The woman, who is already serving nearly four years in prison in a separate case of money laundering, will face deportation from Denmark after serving her sentence, the police said.
