“The investigation encompasses the period September 20, 2018 until February 20, 2019 and pertains to disclosure of insider information and the obligation to establish an insider list … in connection with the disclosure of suspected money laundering within the company,” Swedbank said in a statement.
Swedbank said it was assisting the watchdog.
Sweden’s FSA in March fined Swedbank a record 4 billion Swedish crowns ($456 million) for serious deficiencies in its anti-money-laundering work and said the bank had withheld information from authorities.
Its shares were down 3% at 1142 GMT.
Shares in Sweden’s oldest retail bank fell by a third last year after details of the scandal, which also engulfed Danish peer Danske Bank (CO:DANSKE), emerged at the end of 2018 and through 2019.
Swedbank responded by firing its chief executive and much of its board.
