In connection with the regulatory investigation into the risk provisioning case at WestLB AG which is already publicly known, the German Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has passed on documentation to the public prosecutor´s office in Düsseldorf.

The public prosecutor´s office will now have to decide whether a preliminary suspicion exists in respect of possible criminal relevance.

The Bank will – as has been the case vis-à-vis the banking supervisory authorities – cooperate fully in order to clarify the matter.

Following an internal investigation the Bank does not believe that any facts of criminal relevance exist.
