Deutsche Bank has apologised in full-page newspaper ads for misconduct that has cost the company billions.
The ad, signed by CEO John Cryan, ran today in German newspapers including the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Munich-based Sueddeutsche Zeitung. The bank said its past conduct "not only cost us money, but also our reputation and trust."
