Didier Reynders suspected of money laundering: a Belgian bank in the crosshairs of the BNB

The Belgian bank would have been aware as early as 2018 of the regular cash deposits of the former European commissioner, suspected of money laundering, an accusation which he refutes.

According to Le Soir, ING asked Didier Reynders questions in 2018 regarding regular and large cash deposits in his current account. These cash deposits reportedly stopped in mid-2018 and the former minister then began spending significant sums of cash to purchase National Lottery games.
