COPENHAGEN—Danske Bank’s largest shareholder, the Maersk family, has ousted the lender’s chairman after a money-laundering scandal that has also forced out its chief executive.
A.P. Moller Holding, which controls about 21 percent of the share capital in the bank, has nominated Karsten Dybvad, who currently heads the Confederation of Danish Industry, to replace Ole Andersen as chairman of Denmark’s largest bank.
