Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's not really what this is about, from reading the article. That is, the charges are not for the laundering itself.
Rather, they are for making misleading statements in two interviews that caused investors to over-value the bank, which exposed then to loss.
But to mislead is not enough to commit swindling, Johannisson stressed. What made the difference is the financial damage that her misleading statements caused.
When Swedish Television’s investigative flagship “Mission: Investigate” later published leaked information showing suspicious clients funneling tens of billions of dollars through the bank, Swedbank’s share plunged on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, resulting in substantial losses for the shareholders.
The case has not been about whether money was actually found to be laundered through the bank, but how the CEO claimed that the bank handled such apparent risk.
This particular sentence isn't aimed at deterring banks from laundering money. I don't even know if the CEO is personally criminally liable for that. It's aimed at deterring people running companies from making statements about them that would mislead investors. Important if you want your country to be a desirable place to do investment.
so her fault was fucking with rich people's money, not doing what caused actual societal harm, got it. see also: martin shkreli
So she will have an easier time in prison since they all like her?
