Credit Suisse and a former employee were found guilty on 27 June in a Swiss federal criminal court of helping a Bulgarian crime ring launder money related to cocaine trafficking.
The court found Credit Suisse didn’t do enough to prevent money laundering by members of the crime ring, which prosecutors said moved tons of cocaine into Europe and washed millions of dollars through Credit Suisse. It fined Credit Suisse around $2.1m and ordered it to pay around $20m to the Swiss government.
