In may 2018 searched the Prosecutor’s office of Zurich residential homes and offices of several managers from the environment of the Raiffeisenbank. Eight months later, no Indictments would be available still, such as the “NZZ am Sonntag” reported. The reason is that Many at the time, confiscated files and pieces of evidence have been sealed at the request of the accused.

While the authority was in the process by courts unsealing. So it sounds from the procedures of the middle circles. “With a sealant, a method may be delayed under certain circumstances until certain facts are time-barred,” the newspaper writes.

The report of special investigator, Bruno Gehrig to the co-operative Bank noted that “the independent investigation has shown that for Raiffeisen , Switzerland in some of the studied investments, in hindsight, a financial disadvantage.” Therefore, the Bank writes off 300 million Swiss francs on the investment portfolio. But in spite of dubiosem business conduct of the investigators found no evidence of new, punishes legal behavior of the main accused in the Pierin Vincenz . No evidence of personal enrichment could be found.

Given the Abundance of doubt Deals and the way in which, as Vincent pressed it in-house, surprised the result of the Public and industry insiders, however. “The Board of Directors and the Executive Board have managed the diversification strategy is simply unprofessional,” said Raiffeisen’s new Board President, Guy Lachappelle, immediately after the publication of the report of Gehrig.

Aduno makes pressure

The question is now whether it will come because of the delay tactics at all to be an indictment against Vincenz (as well as its long-time business partner Beat Stocker) because of unfaithful business management.

In the meantime, the case seems to expand. The credit card company Aduno, is involved in the Raiffeisen checks, according to the “NZZ am Sonntag”, if it came to irregularities in the remuneration of the chief days. Piquant is that Aduno had brought with a first internal investigation of the case, in 2017.

Aduno is to illuminate all of the remuneration of the Manager, i.e. wages, expenses, credit card bills. “This is relevant in that, as Vincenz has always been very generous himself, as expressed in the Dossier Familiar,” says the newspaper. In the centre is the question of whether the Aduno-top bonuses once rich stand, without contractual performance targets are met.

business and Private Bank

The Finma will study the report of Gehrig. Lachappelle, however, to drive the cultural change at Raiffeisen. Two members of the Executive Committee have now been released, and two more resigned. Including the former legal chief Roland Schaub. He is the former partner and former supervisor of Nadja Ceregato, later the wife of Vincenz.

That business, bypass, and Private together, the event at Raiffeisen multiple times, the “NZZ on Sunday”.
