FRANKFURT—Deutsche Bank defended its record in fighting money laundering on Dec. 6 after the Financial Times reported it had processed 31 billion euros ($35 billion) more in questionable funds for Danske Bank than previously thought.

A Deutsche Bank spokesman declined to comment on the FT article. He said, however, that it was not Deutsche’s responsibility to vet Danske Bank’s customers and that business ties with the Danish bank had been cut in 2015.
