Former Finance Minister and former Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer (SVP/ZH) is not commenting on the report of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the Credit Suisse crisis for the time being. The 74-year-old wants to examine the report himself first. This was announced by his party on Friday at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency.
The Parliamentary Investigation Committee (PUK) criticizes the conduct of the Finance Minister, who resigned at the end of 2022. It is incomprehensible that Maurer only informed the entire Federal Council verbally and refrained from providing written documents, it writes.
Maurer had shared very little information with the entire Federal Council. When handing over his department to the current Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter, he did not inform his successor sufficiently about the Credit Suisse dossier.
In a newspaper interview in February 2024, the Zurich native defended his decision not to intervene in Credit Suisse at the end of 2022, saying that a rescue by the state was unrealistic and a bankruptcy of CS was unrealistic. He referred to the bank's equity capital.
