A former compliance officer for the international financial powerhouse Deutsche Bank told the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) she was fired in 2018 after raising concerns about suspicious banking activity from accounts owned by financier and sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, as well as accounts linked to Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, adviser, and business partner. The allegations come from an FBI interview report included in the Justice Department’s latest release of Epstein-related documents.
The former anti-money laundering official detailed “mind-boggling” cryptocurrency transactions between Kushner’s company and a Russian individual. She also claimed that she was punished after raising concerns about more than a hundred politically connected individuals who had been shielded from typical anti-money laundering reviews.
Deutsche Bank has already faced intense scrutiny and paid hundreds of millions for the years it spent doing business with Epstein. Starting in 2013, the bank allowed Epstein to open up to forty accounts despite his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor.
But the new FBI records shed light on internal divisions within the financial institution over how to handle what would become one of Deutsche Bank’s most notorious clients — and the alleged blowback against those who questioned the scandal-plagued lender’s decision to prioritize Epstein’s patronage over potential ethical and legal concerns.
