Vicenda Greensill : Credit Suisse ha “gravemente violato” gli obblighi di vigilanza
Credit Suisse made “partly false and overly optimistic” statements to the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) regarding its exposure to Greensill, the regulator said on Tuesday.
Greensill went bankrupt in 2021 and Credit Suisse has so far only been able to recover $7.4 billion of its these assets.
On Tuesday, FINMA published its findings of an investigation into the matter. The report also criticised the bank for allowing a conflict of interest as it also supplied Greensill with loans.
Credit Suisse has been ordered to conduct enhanced risk management on its top 500 business relationships and continuous due diligence of its 600 highest-ranking employees.
In addition, FINMA has started enforcement proceedings against four former Credit Suisse managers that could lead to them being banned from working in the Swiss financial sector for up to five years.
Credit Suisse acknowledged the FINMA report on Tuesday, stating that it has already fired several managers and other staff and has overhauled its risk management procedures.
