Previously, the bank was said to have surveilled on banker Iqbal Khan and its ex-head of human resources.
Recent reports say that the bank spied on a former employee in the US, along with an ex-staff member in Asia. Both employees were not senior management members, added Sonntagszeitung.
The newspaper noted that one of the employees allegedly surveilled by Credit Suisse was monitored after threatening other staff.
Meanwhile, the other case could involve two former employees in the US who may have shared bank information with outside parties.
