Raiffeisen Bank stock: RBI says internal review found compliance adherence

Raiffeisen Bank International said an internal review found that it followed its compliance and sanctions policies. The bank also reported a EUR 3.15 billion default judgment against Rasperia.

Raiffeisen Bank International said on October 5, 2026, that an internal review concluded the bank had acted in line with its compliance framework and sanctions policies. The review examined nearly 200 items cited in a short-seller report, including companies, contracts, transaction numbers and dual-use goods, according to Raiffeisen Bank International.

Compliance review completed

RBI said the items were cross-checked against its payments and transaction history. The bank said the review confirmed the robustness of its compliance systems and the strength of its head-office control functions. RBI added that its sanctions policies are based on European Union, U.S. and U.K. legislation and include additional precautionary restrictions beyond legal requirements. The company said it has invested continuously in centralized compliance systems across its units. These statements were published by RBI Investor Relations.

Rasperia judgment

In a separate September 22, 2026 release, RBI said the Vienna Regional Court for Civil Matters had issued a default judgment against Rasperia Trading Limited following an application by Raiffeisen Bank International AG and its Russian subsidiary AO Raiffeisen. The court ordered Rasperia to pay about EUR 3.15 billion in damages. RBI said the claim could be pursued against Austrian assets frozen under European Union sanctions, including 28.5 million STRABAG SE shares, related dividends from 2021 onward and a cash distribution from STRABAG's March 2024 capital reduction. The bank said the judgment would become legally binding if Rasperia did not appeal within four weeks, as reported in the company release.
