Deutsche Bank is among four European banks being investigated by U.S. regulators for alleged money-laundering violations, according to an attorney with knowledge of the matter.

Federal regulators, including the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Federal Reserve, the Justice Department and the New York District Attorney’s office, are all involved in the probe of Deutsche Bank and three other European banks, said the attorney, who asked not to be identified because the investigations are confidential.

Kathryn Hanes, a London-based spokeswoman for Frankfurt- based Deutsche Bank, didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment after regular business hours.
