Today's newspapers are carrying this story, and the latest reports are saying that the Danish authority quoted in the note has denied saying what he is quoted as stating. DR1 News brings you the story as it was reported in today's press.
The General Directorate of Denmark's Financial Supervising Authority reported yesterday to the Superintendent of Banks of the Dominican Republic that the First Lady and PLD vice-presidential candidate, Margarita Cedeno de Fernandez, is not a client of the Danske Bank.
The Danish financial authorities were responding to a request from the Dominican Republic's Superintendent of Banks, Haivanjoe Ng Cortinas, dated 20 February, to Ulrik Nodgaard, the director of the Danish banking supervisory agency, for confirmation whether Cedeno was a client of the bank concerned. During a press conference held at the headquarters of the Superintendence, Ng Cortinas said that he sent the letter to Nodgaard after receiving a letter from the First Lady on 17 February in which she asked him to "do whatever was necessary to find out and establish" whether she was a client of the bank mentioned in the allegations. In the letter the official says that Cedeno "is the subject of a false accusation from part of the press which says that she has an account or investments in your jurisdiction. Specifically in the bank mentioned previously." Ng Cortinas added that "it is extremely urgent for us to have your cooperation and certification."
As a result, the supervisory authority of Denmark answered the Superintendent of Banks, through Mikkel Holle, the special advisor of the Division of Banks, that Danish Law has very strict confidentiality rules, which limits their ability to answer his request. He adds that with the translation that the Superintendent made of the document, that: "Nonetheless, we have contacted Danske Bank, and given the circumstances, we can inform you that Ms. Cedeno Lizardo is not a client of this bank."
