Ex-CS-Managerin wegen Mosambik-Affäre mit 100’000 Franken gebüsst
Original
The accused was aware of the suspicious facts and nevertheless did not make any effort to submit a report to the Money Laundering Reporting Office in Switzerland (MROS), writes the foreign ministry in the penal order, which is available to the Keystone-SDA news agency. SRF Investigativ and the Tamedia newspapers reported on this on Wednesday.
The Mozambique case involves loans to Mozambican state-owned companies totalling $2 billion. This was intended to strengthen the coastguard and build a tuna fishing fleet.
However, hundreds of millions were diverted instead. Credit Suisse accepted fines totalling around half a billion US dollars before the US judiciary. The former Credit Suisse manager’s lawyer denied the allegations.
