The Credit Suisse pulls out of the case, a lawyer for the US law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan in front of the Federal court. The Bank alleges that the financial market Supervisory authority, not to have a firm selected, the bring the required independence.
at the end of January, the authority Thomas Werlen, the Managing Partner of the Swiss office of Quinn Emanuel officer, the responsibilities of the shading of the former members of the Executive Committee of Iqbal Khan, and Peter Goerke illuminate. Credit Suisse filed a complaint.
it was, In fact, and the law firm in several lawsuits against the big Bank is active.

For Credit Suisse Quinn Emanuel is a red cloth. It takes the position that a Prüfbeauftragter neutral, should be neither for nor against the Examined. This is not given in the case of Quinn Emanuel.
It was not only the appearance of bias – the firm was self-conscious because of the numerous processes “actually,” says Credit Suisse.

hourly wage of 750 francs
The big Bank is defending itself against the investigation as such. Werlen and his twelve-strong Team started with the preliminary investigations already. They will conduct Interviews and screen E-Mails and phone data.
But presumed sensitive data Werlen, which works out to an hourly wage of 750 francs is not likely to get possibly even. Because compulsory measures, such as the advent of mobile phones is not available to him. In addition, a lot of messages are irretrievably lost.

Against Khan and his wife a display of the detective offices Investigo is pending. The private investigators accuse the couple tried coercion, false accusation, false imprisonment and misleading the justice.
The big Bank writes in a statement: “Credit Suisse confirms that it is the judgment of the Federal administrative court from Federal court review. In the centre of the question of the independence of the able to rely on the law firm Quinn Emanuel is as in the past. In our view, Quinn Emanuel is not as required by law regardless, because you are in the world many of the court processes against the Bank.”
The Bank writes: “Credit Suisse continues to cooperate fully with the able to rely. Due to the ongoing proceedings, the Bank does not comment further on the matter.” A spokesman for Finma, writes: “We take the Appeal of the Bank note.”
