Officials declined to comment on who, at the bank, or which foreign companies are being investigated.
“No further information can be provided regarding the background of the business relationships, the transactions processed through Deutsche Bank AG, their scope, or the companies themselves,” the prosecutor’s office said.
The bank is scheduled to publish its full-year results on Thursday, an announcement which will now be overshadowed by the raids.
It is not the first time the bank’s offices have been searched.
In 2018, its Frankfurt headquarters and five other offices in the city were raided in a money laundering operation involving about 170 police and officials.
That investigation looked into whether Deutsche Bank staff helped clients set up offshore accounts to “transfer money from criminal activities”, and was focused on activities between 2013 and the start of 2018.
