Credit Suisse On Trial In Switzerland For Aiding Bulgarian Cocaine Trafficking Ring Ten years ago, HSBC was fined a then-record fine of nearly $2 billion levied by US regulators over the bank''s work with Mexican drug cartels. The massive fine set banking analysts chattering about how megabanks would need to spend millions if not billions to try and beef up their compliance and KYC efforts. But unsurprisingly, that was just talk; little actually changed within the industry. And as a result, Credit Suisse, Switzerland''s second-largest bank, is now facing a criminal trial in its home country over allegations that it provided banking services to a gang of Bulgarian cocaine traffickers. In what Reuters described as the first criminal trial of a megabank in Switzerland, Credit Suisse is facing a potential fine of 42.4 million Swiss francs ($45.86 million) for not taking the necessary precautions to stop drug traffickers from laundering money with the bank between 2004 and 2008. Prosecutors have blamed both the bank and former relationship manager.

Key Events This Week: All Eyes On The CPI After what DB''s Jim Reid describes as "a week for the ages" this week should be calmer until of course US CPI comes along on Thursday. As the Deutsche strategist notes, in his look back at a hell of a week, what made last week so fascinating was the rare interplay between macro and micro. Not only did the rates world shake and reverberate (2yr bunds +35.9bps and the worse week since 2008), but on successive days we saw the biggest market cap fall in history for any company (Meta), followed by the biggest rise ever (Amazon). We have 83 S&P 500 companies reporting this week but no Goliath sized ones, so it''ll be a more normal week for earnings. The macro and micro last week was enough to push the Russian/Ukraine tensions into the background but they are clearly still there so we have to watch out for that as well. Over the weekend ECB governor Knott (a hawk) became the first ECB official to confirm what we reported last week, when he endorsed a 2022 hike by suggesting that he expects a hike around Q4 and another in Spring 2023, and that they are most likely to be in 25bps increments.

Futures Tread Water Amid Peripheral Bond Rout As Key CPI Print Looms U.S. index futures swung around in a volatile, illiquid overnight session, and at last check were flat despite traders'' concerns about growing fireworks in the European bond market where Italian and Greek bond plunged amid fears of ECB rate hikes as soon as October, while waiting for Thursday''s key CPI data and further corporate earnings. S&P 500 futures were up 2 points or 0.05%, Nasdaq futures were up 26 points or 0.18% and Dow futures were up fractionally as markets now expect more than five quarter-point Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes in 2022 to keep inflation on check following a strong U.S. jobs report. Treasury yields and the dollar were stable, while the euro snapped a six-day strengthening run. WTI crude fell after last week''s rally.

A Swiss criminal court is opening a trial on charges that Credit Suisse failed to do enough to stop money laundering linked to drug trafficking by a Bulgarian criminal organization

GENEVA (AP) A Swiss criminal court was opening a trial Monday on charges that Credit Suisse failed to do enough to stop money laundering linked to drug trafficking by a Bulgarian criminal organization, which employed a wrestler who once hauled millions in currency by car to Switzerland. The case against the bank in federal criminal court, in the southern city of Bellinzona, centers on charges that it did not take all necessary measures to halt the infraction of money laundering" by one of its employees, according to a summary from the court announcing the start to the proceedings. As per Swiss criminal court cases, the defendants both individual and corporate were not named to protect their privacy. But Swiss prosecutors identified Credit Suisse by name in an indictment announced in December 2020. The indictment, which centered on a former manager at the Swiss bank and two members of the criminal ring, wrapped up a yearslong investigation into allegations of wrongdoing that appears mostly to have taken place between 2004 and 2008. Credit Suisse unreservedly rejects as meritless all allegations in this legacy matter raised against it and is convinced that its former employee is innocent, the Swiss bank said in a statement Monday, adding that it will defend itself vigorously in court. The Swiss attorney generals office noted how top-level athletes in Bulgaria, after the fall of communism, turned towards other sources of income, and numerous wrestlers received approaches from mafia clans. One unidentified wrestler aimed to cash in by trafficking tons of cocaine through mules from South America to Europe by air and sea and then laundering the profits.
