STOCKHOLM--The former chief executive of Danske Bank's
(DANSKE.KO) Estonian branch is still missing, 24 hours after he
first disappeared, Estonia's Police and Border Guard Board told The
Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
Aivar Rehe headed the Danish bank's branch in Estonia, where the
troubled lender is embroiled in a huge money-laundering
scandal.
Danske is being investigated by authorities in Estonia, Denmark,
France and the U.S. over allegations that around $230 billion in
suspicious funds from Russia and other former Soviet states entered
Europe through its tiny branch in Estonia.
Mr. Rehe, 56 left his Tallinn home for a walk at 10:00 local
time Tuesday and hasn't been seen or heard from since.
Around 40 police officers and volunteers searched for Mr. Rehe
near his home but the search party was not able to locate him
yesterday, the police said.
"Police officers are continuing to look for Aivar today," police
spokesman Kristjan Lukk said.
"As of now, we have no information of his whereabouts, but as he
has been missing for 24 hours, there is a risk that his life and
health may be in danger."
