ING Belgium has come under investigation for its role in the money laundering case that involves former European Commissioner Didier Reynders, Belgian newspaper Le Soir reports.

The bank is being probed by the Brussels prosecutor’s office for potential acts of “influence peddling”. 

It is alleged that Reynders deposited the resulting – and now-laundered -profits into his personal account.

According to the report, the former Commissioner deposited some €700,000 in cash on his ING account between 2008 and 2018. The bank did not ask him questions until 2018, and only notified the Financial Intelligence Processing Unit in 2023.
