Ok, so the answer seems to be "plenty of people", so here we go. (To any lawyer reading this, please don't sue me if I forget one "allegedly" or two, although I'll try tom remain objective as much as possible.!)
Deutsche Bank was USD correspondent bank for Danske Bank in Estonia. According to the FT, DB did $150bn out of the now famous $230bn dubious flows after JPM (in 2013) and BofA (in 2015) declined to do mire business
Two Swedish banks are in trouble (it's all over the news and supervisors are investigating) for AML issues in Estonia : Swedbank and SEB. In the early 2010s, DB was USD correspondent bank to Swedbank
In the mid 2010s, DB was one of the two USD correspondent banks of SEB in Estonia (with BONY)
DB was DB was USD correspondent bank to Versobank in Estonia. Versobank had its license revoked in, 2018 partly due to AML failures.
(So were Commerzbank, RBI, Sberbank, OJSC)
DB was USD correspondent bank for Norvik Banka a Latvian bank. Norvik Banka was shut down by the SSM for alleged money laundering in 2018.
DB was a USD correspondent bank for Rietumu until 2017, a Latvian bank. Rietmu was heavily fined by a French court for money laundering in 2017
DB was a USD correspondent bank for PrivatBank, a Latvian bank. According to OCCRP Russian Laundromat report from 2017, PrivatBank was 2nd largest in money laundering (alleged $2bn).
DB was a Euro correspondent bank for ABLV (not USD). ABLV, a Latvian bank, was shut down early 2018 after the US Treasury said the bank was laundering money.
DB was a Euro (not USD) correspondent bank for Trasta Komercbanka, a Latvian bank that had the top spot (alleged $3.2bn) in the OCCRP Russian Laundromat report. The ECB revoked the banking license in March 2016.
DB had a correspondent banking relationship (not in USD) with Satabank, a Maltese bank placed under administration in 2018 for alleged money laundering
Much less clear : Pilatus Bank in Malta was shut down by the ECB in 2018 the Chairman was arrested in the US breaching Iran sanctions. We don't know who the 2 USD correspondent banks were.
Caruana Galizia (journalist killed in a car bomb in 2017) had written that Pilatus used Bank of Valetta for some USD payments. DB was a USD correspondent for BoV and she wrote in June 2017 that DB shut down this relationship.
FBME Ltd (Cyprus with a Tanzanian parent), was placed under administration in 2014 and shut down in 2016 after a US Treasury report from 2014 accusing the bank of facilitating money laundering.
According to press reports, DB was one of three USD correspondent banks for FMBE (w/ Commerzbank & RBI) and DB terminated the business in 2014.
AND NOW TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR THIS DOESN'T MEAN DB DID ANYTHING WRONG.
DB is the biggest USD clearer in Europe so it's quite normal that they appear often in the list of correspondent banks.

Also, being a correspondent means that you only transfer money from one bank to another, you don't really know who the ultimate clients are.
As nicely summarised in this chart by Mediobanca 
But this doesn't mean that a correspondent bank has no liability. In the US, in particular, the Bank secrecy act says that they must have "appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhanced, due diligence policies, procedures, and controls -
that are reasonably designed to detect and report instances of money laundering through those accounts.”
and OCC has issued rather strict guidelines on this. Basically if the whole thing was suspicious and you pretend you didn't notice, you're in trouble.

If there was no reasonable way of knowing what was really going on, you have 0 liability (I know, very very summarized description of the spirit of the rules.)
And last words: when Commerzbank settled with the DoJ on AML issues, correspondent banking and due diligence failures were explicitly part of the settlement. So there is no free pass here.
