Text
Five employees of China's biggest bank have been arrested in Spain on suspicion of laundering money across Europe. Police made the arrests Wednesday after raiding the offices of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Madrid.
European law enforcement officials said Beijing-based ICBC was suspected of laundering money on behalf of a Chinese criminal enterprise that allegedly imported a huge amount of goods without proper customs declarations, in order to avoid Spanish taxes.
The bank also allegedly provided services to other Chinese and Spanish criminal syndicates "to introduce into the financial system funds earned through the crimes of smuggling, tax and excise fraud and labor exploitation, allowing the transfer of the funds to China in a way that appeared legal," European law enforcement agency Europol said in a statement.
