The Madrid branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) has informed the Chinese Embassy in Spain that the bank used the latest anti-money laundering system provided by Spanish authorities to control capital, the embassy said in a statement Friday.
上周五，中国驻西班牙大使馆在一份声明中表示，中国工商银行马德里分行已经通知大使馆，该银行将采用西班牙当局最新的反洗钱系统来控制资本。
This is the second statement from the Chinese embassy following the Wednesday raid of the ICBC Madrid branch by Spanish police over the bank's alleged weak supervision of suspected money laundering. During the raid, five ICBC employees were taken to Spanish police custody for investigation.
由于指控涉嫌洗钱及监管不力，周三西班牙警方突击检查了中国工商银行马德里分行。在检查过程中，五名工商银行员工被西班牙警方拘留调查。这是周三事件发生后，使馆方面发布的第二份声明。

"ICBC has been actively dedicated to promoting economic cooperation between the two nations, and continued to provide financing services for investment projects in Spain, which amounted to more than 1 billion euros, " the embassy statement said, adding, "the bank has made an active contribution to the economic and social development in Spain."
使馆在声明中表示：“中国工商银行一直积极地致力于促进两国间经济合作，并且持续向西班牙的投资计划提供金融服务，金额超过了10亿欧元。银行为西班牙的经济和社会发展做出了积极的贡献。”
The Spanish police claimed the investigation was "still in a phase of secrecy," and wouldn't provide more details, according to the embassy statement.
据使馆声明称，西班牙警方的调查仍然处于“保密阶段”，警方将不会提供更多细节。
In its Friday statement, the embassy also urged the Spanish side to deal with the issue justly while protecting the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies and personnel.
在周五的这份声明中，使馆还敦促西班牙方面，在公正地处理问题同时，也要保护中国公司和个人的合法权益。
