Credit Suisse flags potential hit from Bermuda court ruling

This post was originally published on this site

The bank has been fighting claims by people seeking compensation for losses caused by former Credit Suisse (SIX:CSGN) client adviser Patrice Lescaudron, who was convicted by a Geneva court in 2018 for defrauding customers.

Credit Suisse argued that Lescaudron hid his activity from the bank.

“Credit Suisse has previously taken reserves against this matter and intends to pursue all available legal actions,” it said in a statement.

It would consider whether further reserves were required as part of first-quarter results due on April 27, 2022.
