On 20 February, Infolibre reported on a project coordinated by the German newspaper ‘Süddeutsche Zeitung’ and OCCRP. It says that 163 journalists from 48 media outlets in 39 countries around the world have investigated for months the massive leak of bank account data; and based on the data of 18,000 bank accounts. Details of accounts linked to 30,000 Credit Suisse clients all over the world are contained in the leak, which unmasks the beneficiaries of more than £80 billion held in one of Switzerland’s best-known financial institutions. The leak points to widespread failures of due diligence by Credit Suisse, despite repeated pledges over decades to weed out dubious clients and illicit funds.
