Deutsche Bank, a German financial institution, has been involved in controversial relationships with Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump has long been a client of Deutsche Bank, and the bank has provided him with significant loans, including for his Trump Tower project in Manhattan. Putin's associates, including Gennady Timchenko and Boris Rotenberg, have also been clients of Deutsche Bank, and the bank has been accused of facilitating money laundering and other financial crimes for them. The bank's dealings with these questionable individuals have raised concerns about its compliance with anti-money laundering and anti-corruption regulations, and have led to heightened scrutiny from regulators and law enforcement.
