Credit Suisse held $100 billion for war criminals, traffickers, and cartel money for decades. Leaked records named 30,000+ accounts. Zero prosecutions. The bank was just quietly erased into UBS

In February 2022, a whistleblower handed internal Credit Suisse banking records to Süddeutsche Zeitung

The ICIJ, the same organization behind the Panama Papers, analyzed the leak with 48 global media partners

The records spanned from the 1940s through the 2010s and covered over 30,000 clients holding more than 100 billion dollars

A former Philippine national security chief accused of electrocuting and waterboarding political prisoners under the Marcos regime held a verified account

A convicted human trafficker who recruited women from Eastern Europe kept an account for years after his conviction was already public record

A Yemeni money exchanger with documented financing links to Al-Qaeda had accounts opened even after US sanctions had already flagged him

A Venezuelan state oil executive who looted over a billion dollars from PDVSA held funds there while under active international investigation

Egyptian intelligence officers linked to outsourcing torture to third countries were listed as verified account holders

Credit Suisse called the reporting partial, inaccurate, or taken out of context

Switzerland then made it a criminal offense for its own journalists to even publish the leaked material

The bank was eventually fined, not for the leaked accounts, but for an unrelated Bulgarian cocaine money laundering case that surfaced the same week and conveniently became the headline

In March 2023, Credit Suisse collapsed under compounding scandals and was forcibly merged into UBS in a government-brokered emergency deal

No criminal charges were filed for any named account holder

No wealth was seized

The documents existed, the names were real, and nothing changed
