LONDON/COPENHAGEN—Danske Bank’s top investors are looking to Denmark’s Maersk family to steer the country’s largest lender through the turmoil of a 200 billion euro ($227 billion) money laundering scandal.
The Danish clan’s investment firm A.P. Moller Holding, Danske’s normally passive top shareholder with a stake of around 21 percent, has ousted the bank’s chairman Ole Andersen and called an extraordinary shareholder meeting in Copenhagen on Nov. 30 to nominate two successors to the board.
