RBI's IR statement:
"Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
There have been various media reports that a complaint about suspicion of money laundering activity has been filed with the Austrian Public Prosecutor’s Office (Wirtschafts- und Korruptionsstaatsanwaltschaft). Past involvement of Raiffeisen Zentralbank in these activities has also been mentioned in the media.
The complaint is filed against an unnamed party, and therefore at the current time Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) is not familiar with the concrete allegations and does not have any further information on the content of the complaint. In the past, some of these allegations were already subject to intensive investigations at RBI on the part of the regulatory and legal authorities and confirmed to be unfounded.
RBI complies with all anti-money laundering requirements. Its compliance systems and processes have been, and continue to be, regularly reviewed by external parties and are confirmed to be in compliance with the legal requirements. Nevertheless, RBI takes the allegations in the media very seriously and is conducting an internal investigation.
Kind regards,
Group Investor Relations"
