According to the Aargauer Zeitung, a parliamentary investigation into Credit Suisse’s failure will seal its files for fifty years, causing concern among Swiss historians.

After thirty years, the investigative committee will submit witness testimony and records to the Swiss Federal Archives.

Sacha Zala, the president of the Swiss Society for History, emphasized the significance of access to the CS files for scientific investigation.

Before UBS’s emergency acquisition of Credit Suisse in March, the parliamentary committee is investigating the Swiss government, banking regulator, and central bank.

The investigation may involve interviewing Credit Suisse executives, but they will not be the primary focus.
