US Probes Swiss Banks Over Russian Clients — Bloomberg

Swiss banking giants Credit Suisse and UBS are on a list of banks under scrutiny by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) for allegedly helping Russian businessmen to evade sanctions, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The Swiss banks, along with several American banking majors, were reportedly subpoenaed by the DOJ. The agency’s sources added that the requests had been sent before Credit Suisse was hit by the crisis that resulted in its takeover by rival UBS.

The probe aims to identify which bankers and advisers dealt with sanctioned clients and how those clients were vetted over the past several years, the sources told the media.

France Slammed For ‘Excessive Force’ Against Protests

The French government has used disproportionate force against demonstrators protesting pension reforms in violation of their freedom of assembly and expression, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatovic claimed.

Mijatovic described the circumstances of the pension protests as “concerning,” adding that “sporadic acts of violence by some demonstrators or other reprehensible acts committed by others during a demonstration cannot justify the excessive use of force by state agents.”

While some “violent incidents” have taken place, including against police, they are “not sufficient to deprive peaceful demonstrators of enjoying the right of freedom of assembly,” she said, adding that the French authorities must protect peaceful protesters.
