Credit Suisse says entity gets civil investigative demands from DOJ
ZURICH (Reuters) - A Credit Suisse (CSGN.VX) entity has received civil investigative demands from the U.S Department of Justice over matters related to credit default swaps, the Swiss lender said in a prospectus for a share sale released on Monday.
It gave no further details. A spokeswoman said it had revealed the request in its 2014 annual report.
It reiterated that Credit Suisse and other defendants in September had executed agreements to settle U.S. class-action lawsuits alleging violations of price-fixing related to credit default swaps. These agreements still required final court approval, it said.
