Credit Suisse will reportedly delay the publishing of findings from a report into the collapse of Greensill, for which it ran $10bn in investment funds.
The Swiss investment giant hired Deloitte and Swiss law firm Walder Wyss to prepare a report on its failings in the aftermath of Greensill scandal.
The bank has now postponed the release of the findings from the investigation, which it was hoping to publish with its third-quarter results next month, Financial Times reported citing people briefed on the plans.
Last week, Credit Suisse headquarters was raided by the Swiss police as part of an investigation linked to Greensill’s activities.
The police raid is said to have increased the stakes for the Swiss bank although the investigation was not directly against it.
Some of the top executives of the bank is concerned that the probe would extend the bank’s remit, people with knowledge of the discussions revealed to the publication.
