ING Groep NV (INGA.AS) is in discussions with the Italian judicial authorities over a money-laundering investigation, the Dutch bank said on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that ING’s Italian business reached a provisional deal with Milan prosecutors to settle the investigation by paying 30 million euros ($33 million).
“We are in discussions with Italian judicial authorities concerning these conclusions and related investigation. Meanwhile we do not comment”, the bank said in a statement.
