By GlobalDataMeanwhile, a report by Swiss financial blog Inside Paradeplatz said that the Zurich-headquartered bank had fired two managers within its asset management division in connection with the findings of the probe.
In October this year, the Swiss police reportedly raided Credit Suisse’s offices in connection with an investigation into Greensill and seized documents linked to the collapse of its fund range that financed Greensill’s supply-chain.
In March, Swiss regulator FINMA announced a probe into the bank’s Greensill losses and the corresponding supply chain finance fund.
FINMA also launched enforcement proceedings against the bank in connection to the collapse of US-based hedge fund Archegos.
Credit Suisse was struck by Archegos explosion, just over a month after the Greensill scandal broke out.
