In addition, Lawsky reportedly also petitioned the US Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations for material compiled by the panel during its investigation into the bank’s private banking and wealth management business.

Credit Suisse last week set aside an additional CHF468 million (US$527.8 million) to settle an ongoing US criminal probe into whether the bank helped wealthy US citizens dodge taxes.
