Schweizer Geheimnisse
Als sich ein Whistleblower mit Informationen aus dem Innersten einer der größten Banken der Welt meldet, beginnt eine spektakuläre Recherche. Sie deckt Credit-Suisse-Konten von Diktatoren, Foltergenerälen, Kardinälen, Menschenhändlern und prominenten Superreichen auf. Diese für die Autoren riskanten Enthüllung bringt die Schweizer Bank in Erklärungsnot, ist ein Plädoyer für die Pressefreiheit und ein großer Gewinn für die Allgemeinheit. Dieses Buch erzählt die ganze Geschichte der #SUISSESECRETS.

September 5, 2022Das Buch deckt inhaltlich "nur" die Rechercharbeit im Zusammenhang mit dem Datenleck ab.
Das 'Versprechen' auf dem Buchdeckel - "Wie Banker das Geld von Steuerhinterziehern, Foltergenerälen, Diktatoren und der katholischen Kirche versteckt haben - mit Hilfe der Politik" wird - leider - nicht abgedeckt und eingelöst...

In dem Buch geht es hauptsächlich um die Recherchearbeit und weniger um die eigentlichen Geheimnisse, die der Leak aufdeckt. Es ist trotzdem spannend und gut zu lesen, daher 3 Sterne. Ich hätte mir aber mehr Details zu den einzelnen Machenschaften gewünscht.

Sehr interessant und gut verständlich erklärt

The Swiss banking market is to an uncomfortably large degree an opaque vault for unsavory money, everyone knows that. Just how unsavory? That is the question that the SZ's now-infamous investigative reporting team (Panama Papers, Paradise Papers, Ibizagate, ...) tried to answer using a leak of client data from Credit Suisse. The result? Warlords, corrupt politicians, and other undesirables are welcome clients. Apparently, the respective compliance departments believe KYC and AML are fast-food chains. Anything else would indicate malicious intent or smug indifference.
Unfortunately, the book itself, while important, appears rushed, and the authors even state as much. The book lists a small number of high-profile cases and their connection to CS. Some are already water under the bridge while others open up to serious allegations yet to be investigated. I would have preferred a more conclusive post-mortem a few months down the road. Unfortunately, recent geopolitical events have all but drowned out the press coverage on this undoubtedly important investigation. It appears the devil does indeed look after his own.

This book can be described as a spotlight on the Swiss banking secrets, according to the Swiss Banking Regulation. This investigation, which arose from an anonymous leak, drives the reader's attention to the labyrinthine system of financial services.

contenuto e lavoro di ricerca eccellenti, ma avrei preferito una prosa meno ripetitiva e più piacevole che avrebbe agevolato la lettura
