Ex-Deutsche Bank Private Banking Chief Confesses to Stealing €626,000 From Clients

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Aug 25

More than €626,000 was siphoned from wealthy Deutsche Bank clients over multiple installments, and former private banking team head Sven R. admitted the thefts in a Frankfurt court.
The 39-year-old defendant is accused of aggravated breach of trust after exploiting Deutsche Bank’s internal money-transfer practices from late 2023 until he was caught in spring 2025.
The confession centers on a scheme that ran for about 1 1/2 years, turning a senior private banking role in Frankfurt into the vehicle for the client-fund theft.
