One hundred seventy officers searched the headquarters of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt and five other sites in the area early Thursday as part of a money-laundering investigation involving hundreds of millions of euros, prosecutors in Frankfurt said.

Two employees, who were not publicly identified but whose ages were given as 50 and 46, and other “unidentified people in positions of authority” are suspected of failing to report possible money laundering for transactions worth 311 million euros, or more than $350 million.

The money flowed to organizations in the British Virgin Islands before spring 2016, prosecutors said in an emailed statement.

According to prosecutors, Deutsche Bank is suspected of helping some 900 customers setup offshore shell companies in tax havens to "transfer money from criminal activities." They said some €311 million ($354 million) is believed to have been laundered, citing information gleaned from the so-called "Panama Papers."

7. When they do raids here, they focus on the specific offices

and I expect those towers in your pic are not all "bank" operations as there are apparently conference rooms in there (available for booking), a lot of open space inside, and less than 3000 who actually work in there.

10. You think each agent should be able to handle more than 17 employees?

In a surprise raid? Or that less than 2 agents per floor is sufficient?

4. Isn't Deutsche Bank really Putin's bank and loaned money to Trump when no other bank would?

BTW what about Hillary's emails?
