British COVID-19 rules broken at 2021 Wimbledon by Credit Suisse chairman

The 2021 Wimbledon Finals are at the center of a scandal regarding a Credit Suisse chairman who broke the British COVID-19 rules to attend it.

A preliminary investigation by Credit Suisse found that its Chairman Antonio Horta-Osorio attended the Wimbledon tennis finals in July during a visit to Britain when the country’s Covid-19 rules required him to be in quarantine. It’s the second time the Portuguese banker, who joined the Swiss bank in April to clean up its culture following a string of scandals, has been found to have broken coronavirus curbs.

In the course of their investigation, the bank’s legal team found that Horta-Osorio had also broken Britain’s rules when he made the trip to attend Wimbledon for the finals on the weekend of July 10 and 11, the sources said.
