Analysts say Danske Bank fines could hit $8 billion in money laundering scandal

Danske Bank, Denmark’s biggest lender, has been rocked by a money-laundering scandal which may have involved $235 billion.

If the bank is found guilty of any wrongdoing it will likely face a significant fine.

One estimate suggests the fine could be as high as 53 billion Danish krone ($8.3 billion), while others believe somewhere in the hundreds of millions of dollars is more likely.
