Credit Swiss Asks to Destroy Documents Linked to Oligarchs

Credit Suisse has asked hedge funds and other investors to destroy documents relating to its richest clients’ yachts and private jets, in an attempt to stop information leaking about a unit of the bank that has made loans to oligarchs who were later sanctioned.  Investors this week received letters from the Swiss bank requesting that they destroy the documents relating to a securitisation of loans backed by “jets, yachts, real estate and/or financial assets”, according to three people whose firm received the request. Financial Times Swiss banks are also infamous for protecting fat accounts of Tunisian and Egyptian family members of the former Ben Ali and Mubarak regimes, among others.
