"The subsidiary that came up in the investigation is no longer part of ABN Amro," spokesman Jeroen van Maarschalkerweerd said, adding that it was sold in 2007.

ABN Amro's shares fell as much as 4.6 percent on Tuesday, after a Dutch magazine reported that it, ING and Rabobank had been among the banks through which money had been channelled.
