Bloomberg reported the possible involvement of the Rotenbergs in the suspicious deuts of Deutsche Bank

Brothers Arkady and Boris Rotenbergs could benefit from the so -called “mirror” deutsche Bank transactions, which have now become the subject of verification of the US prosecutor’s office, British regulators and the bank itself. It is reported by Bloomberg with reference to unnamed sources.

We are talking about transactions in the amount of about $ 6 billion made by DB customers with shares in the Russian market from 2011 to the beginning of 2015. Securities were bought in rubles through DB, and in parallel the bank in London bought the same shares for dollars. The bank itself suspects that these operations could become a cover for the illegal withdrawal of client funds from Russia and in May announced the beginning of the corresponding internal investigation.

The representative of the Rotenbergs denied the involvement of businessmen in such transactions. Deutsche Bank refused to report the details of the conducting verification. The Kremlin also refused to comment on "unreasonable statements."

As Bloomberg sources emphasize, there are no indications that the Rotenbergs or other alleged DB customers are defendants in the investigation in connection with the mentioned transactions. “Mirror” transactions can be legally made, the US authorities only check whether the DB has violated American banking legislation.

In mid -September, Deutsche Bank announced that he was closing the Russian unit leading the business of corporate banking services and securities (CB & S). Shortly before that, The Wall Street Journal wrote about the possible reduction of 200 employees of the DB Investbank branch in Russia.
