Switzerland’s Federal Prosecutor has opened an investigation into the state-backed takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS Group , the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

The Bern-based prosecutor is looking into potential breaches of Swiss criminal law by government officials, regulators and executives at the two banks, which agreed on an emergency merger last month, the report said citing the authority.

There were “numerous aspects of events around Credit Suisse” that warranted investigation and which needed to be analysed to “identify any crimes that could fall within the competence of the [prosecutor]”, the report added. Switzerland's federal prosecutor and Credit Suisse did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.Reporting by Sneha Bhowmik in Bengaluru; Editing by David Goodman and David Holmes

Swiss economists question UBS takeover of Credit Suisse in pollA poll of Swiss economists found that nearly half think the takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS was not the best solution, warning the saga has dented Switzerland's reputation as a banking centre. This is still very risky. Swiss regulators might have been better to spend the time to do the digesting of Credit Suisse rather than quickly sweeping it under the rug to forestall panic. If Swiss keeps greedy for CCP bloody corrupted money, their banking system will end up like Credit Suisse according to the Murphy’s Law.

Credit Suisse takeover hits heart of Swiss banking, identityAnalysts say the UBS takeover of embattled rival Credit Suisse has shaken Switzerland’s self-image and dented its reputation as a global financial center. They warn that the country’s prosperity could grow too dependent on a single banking behemoth. The uncertain future of a union of Switzerland’s two global banks comes at a thorny time for Swiss identity, built nearly as much on a self-image of finesse in finance as on know-how with chocolate, watchmaking and cheese.

He says the issue isn't “too big to fail' but 'too small to survive.” We are saying the same thing in San Francisco Global reputation as ethically corrupt tax haven, you mean? Really Not even the fact that for decades, Switzerland allowed anonymous people to have secret bank accounts …helping drug trafficking and money laundering …🙄🙄🙄🙄
