(Bloomberg) -- Earnings reports in Europe have been mixed so far this reporting season, with just 46% of companies surpassing expectations, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. That hasn’t halted the equities rally, which has taken its cue more from macroeconomic developments.Most Read from BloombergTwin Earthquakes Kill More Than 1,000 in Turkey and SyriaChina Moves From Contrite to Confrontational Over US BalloonUS Moves to Recover Chinese Balloon While Weighing RetaliationF-22 Makes First Air
The leak covered more than 18,000 accounts, including human rights abusers, fraudsters and businessmen subject to sanctions, thereby plunging Switzerland's biggest bank into a dirty money scandal. The accounts, which were held from the 1940s to the 2010s, were leaked last February to Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which shared it with media organisations worldwide. Prosecutors said the alleged offences in the case were violation of banking secrecy laws, damage caused to Credit Suisse and making confidential business information available to foreign organisations or their agents.
Swiss prosecutors said Thursday they had opened an investigation into a massive leak last year of Credit Suisse account records, which a media probe alleged proved the bank held billions in dirty money. The leaked records on more than 18,000 Credit Suisse accounts dating back to the 1940s were used in an international media investigation published in February 2022.
