The service will be served at a police interview that will take place sometime in the coming week, Birgitte Bonnesen's lawyer Per E Samuelson tells Dagens Nyheter.

Birgitte Bonnesen was fired from Swedbank at the end of March last year. As President and CEO, she toned down the risks the bank was facing for a long time as a result of the money laundering revelation that autumn 2018 revealed at Danske Bank's Estonian branch.

- I feel confident that she has not committed the slightest mistake. On the contrary, she is in a rather difficult situation when the media asks "do you have the same problems as Danske Bank - do you also have operations in the Baltic?" image of the bank's situation, Per E Samuelson tells Dagens Nyheter.

Initiated preliminary investigation

In February 2019, Chief Prosecutor Thomas Langrot of the Swedish Criminal Investigation Authority decided to initiate a preliminary investigation against Swedbank regarding suspicion of unauthorized disclosure of inside information.

The reason was an article in Dagens Nyheter with information that Swedbank's major owners should have received advance information about the suspected money laundering scandal revealed by SVT's "Assignment Review" the week before.

- I have initiated a preliminary investigation on my own initiative as there is reason to assume that unauthorized disclosure of insider information has taken place to the 15 largest owners in Swedbank before the incident in SVT. The continued investigation may show what information has been provided, Thomas Langrot said in a comment.

Following a raid on Swedbank's headquarters, the suspicions were extended to serious fraud.
