MEPs call for review of Swiss banking laws after Credit Suisse leak

Credit Suisse said it strongly rejects any allegations of wrongdoing.

Media outlets published the results of investigations into a leak of data on thousands of accounts held at Swiss bank Credit Suisse.

The main political grouping in the European Parliament, the European People's Party (EPP), which includes Fine Gael MEPs, has called for a review of Switzerland's banking practices and for the country's possible inclusion in the EU's dirty-money blacklist after leaks of Credit Suisse documents.

Media outlets published the results of investigations into a leak of data on thousands of accounts held at the bank in past decades and said they appeared to show clients included human rights abusers and businessmen under sanctions.
