Last week, Capital Fund Director Bill Browder made serious of his previous threats and police-reported Danske Bank in connection with the whitewash case.

According to Bill Browder, Danske Bank is one of the most central banks in the case. The transactions were at the same time that Danske Bank in Estonia was involved in other cases of money laundering.

But are you nervous about whether SØIK will start a lawsuit against you?
"No. We have a constructive relationship with all authorities, too, SØIK. If they choose to raise a case, then we must work constructively," says Thomas Borgen.
The Baghdad police take the case seriously.
"I can assure everyone that SØIK takes this case very seriously and we are following the case very closely. SØIK is in connection with its work in contact with the authorities in several countries. I would also like to emphasize that I have full understanding of the great interest in the case, which is entirely justified, "says Morten Niels Jakobsen, Public Prosecutor, SØIK, in a written reply to Børsen.
