Wilkinson, a British trader in Danske
Bank's Estonian branch until 2014, will testify at public hearings in
Copenhagen on November 19, and in Brussels on November 21, Reuters reports.
Wilkinson has agreed to testify before the two parliaments as "all
voters in Europe have a right to know what their governments are doing to stop
corruption and protect whistleblowers," his U.S. attorney Stephen M.
Kohn said in an email to Reuters.
It is crucial that Wilkinson will be free of any non-disclosure
agreements following his tenure at Danske
Bank so that he can speak freely, a spokesman for the European
Parliament committee that arranges the Brussels hearing said, adding that a
letter applying for this waiver will also soon be sent to Danske.
