DWS said the resolution of allegations was a top priority but that it couldn't comment on timeframes or outcomes. Under Democratic leadership, the SEC has pledged to crack down on "greenwashing" and the inflating of ESG credentials to attract investors. DWS had earmarked civil litigation provisions of 8 million euros ($8.84 million) by the end of last year. DWS has been in settlement negotiations with Frankfurt prosecutors over a multi-million euro fine, one of the people said. Earlier in July, Reuters and other media reported that German prosecutors were investigating DWS' former CEO Asoka Woehrmann, who in the past has called allegations "unfounded".

A lawyer for Woehrmann said DWS' internal investigations "did not reveal any evidence of misconduct on the part of my client". A spokesperson for prosecutors in Frankfurt, where DWS is headquartered, would only say an individual was targeted but would not name the person. DWS declined to comment on Woehrmann, but has said that it stands by its financial disclosures and fund prospectuses and is cooperating with investigators. At present, we cannot estimate when and how the proceeding of the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor’s Office will be concluded," DWS said. Woehrmann resigned as CEO of DWS last year after German prosecutors raided the offices of DWS and Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt over the allegations.

FRANKFURT, Oct 24 (Reuters) - A German consumer group said on Monday it is suing Deutsche Bank's (DBKGn.DE) asset management unit DWS (DWSG.DE) for allegedly misrepresenting a fund's green credentials in marketing materials. DWS, which has repeatedly denied it misled investors, rejects the allegations by the consumer group, which represents consumers in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The group said it filed a suit against DWS on Sept. 26 in a Frankfurt court, which has set a hearing for March 10. The lawsuit against DWS is one of several filed by the consumer group against financial firms for allegedly overstating their green credentials. Asoka Woehrmann resigned as chief executive of DWS in June after German prosecutors raided the offices of DWS and Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt over allegations of greenwashing and misleading investments.
