German authorities searched Deutsche Bank’s headquarters in Frankfurt on 29 April, a move the bank said was related to suspicious activity reports it filed to an anti-money-laundering agency.

Agents from Frankfurt’s prosecutor’s office, German financial regulator BaFin and the federal police showed up at Deutsche Bank with a search warrant issued by the Frankfurt local court, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement. It said it couldn’t provide further information.
