The EU's emissions trading system to reduce CO2 emissions, sets limits on the emissions of industries and power plants and allows them to buy carbon permits for additional emissions if needed as well as to sell their surpluses.
In December, last year, a judge at the regional court in Frankfurt sentenced six men of different nationalities to jail after finding them guilty of tax evasion in emissions trade between 2009 and 2010.
Investigations at that time showed that Deutsche Bank staff had cooperated with them.
Deutsche Bank confirmed Wednesday's police raid and said it would continue to cooperate with the authorities.
