Switzerland's second-largest bank is trying to recover funds
that Greensill Capital, a defunct finance firm, had lent to
Katerra, a SoftBank-backed U.S. construction group that filed
for bankruptcy last year.
Credit Suisse has been working to recover money from the
collapse of some $10 billion in funds linked to the insolvent
supply chain finance firm Greensill.
Last year, the bank filed a petition in the United States
seeking information it said would support a lawsuit that it
planned to file against SoftBank and other affiliates in Britain
over the money it said was owed by Katerra.
The Swiss bank is seeking to establish what SoftBank executives,
including chair and chief executive Masayoshi Son, knew about
Katerra's restructuring plans.
Credit Suisse declined to comment. SoftBank did not immediately
respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The Financial Times first reported the move on Thursday.
