12/12/12, "Deutsche Bank co-CEO drawn into C02 tax evasion probe," Reuters
"Around 500 police and tax inspectors raided
Deutsche Bank, arresting five staff in a probe linked to a tax scam
involving the trading of carbon permits.
Tax
inspectors clutching backpacks and suitcases were seen leaving the
bank's twin-tower headquarters in Frankfurt. About 20 police mini buses
and two coaches were parked outside.
The
raids mark a setback for Deutsche's efforts to polish its image. The
bank is struggling with lawsuits in the United States and the UK
connected to allegations of Libor manipulation and the mis-selling of
subprime assets during the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
ARMED POLICE
Eight
policemen wearing dark blue overalls and armed with handguns were
stationed in the bank's lobby and appeared to be coordinating a
high-profile search of the glass towers which can house up to 3,000
staff.
The officers declined to
comment on the exact nature of the raids, which a person working in the
building said started at 0915 CET (8:15 a.m. British time)."...via Tom Nelson
