Swiss Prosecutors Investigate UBS Takeover of Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse Boardroom Shake-Up
TL;DR
Swiss prosecutors have launched an investigation into possible illegal activity related to the government-supported takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS. The deal was part of an emergency agreement to avoid a national financial crisis. The prosecutor's statement said the probe aimed to "analyze and identify any criminal offenses" associated with the merger. The deal has been unpopular locally, and the new entity could reportedly cut jobs by up to 30%.
