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.

UK government spokesperson said they would not comment on specific cases. They simply said:

“Passengers are responsible for ensuring they comply with all travel rules, including providing accurate information on their Passenger Locator Form, and failure to do so could lead to a fine or imprisonment."
