Sammanfattning: This study aims to analyze experiences and attitudes that the AML employees at Danske Bank have towards the relevant legislation and regulation due to their crime prevention work against money laundering. The employees' experiences were composed through semi-structured interviews of a total of 5 employees selected in the bank´s two departmental teams within AML: Compliance and AML Advisors. The collected material was analyzed with the help of a thematic content analysis where we formulated four key themes for the central experiences that were demonstrated. The final result of the material that was collected, culminated into experiences of the Bank Confidentiality between national and international banks, A collection of negative experiences, the Law, the EU directive and the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority and the Start-up phase. These experiences shows a critical point of view in the perception of a successful work of crime prevention. All themes are designed as it is in some way linked to the relevant regulation that the study is interested in: Law (2017: 630), FFFS (2017: 11), EU Directive (2015/849) and Law (2004: 297). The purpose of the study is to in some way provide new research and by that fill gaps where it lacks of knowledge and information in the current field. We want to broaden the knowledge of the law's effect in money laundering in Sweden by those who actually performs it in their daily work. It is hoped that, the four themes of experiences are able to generalize banks' reality.
