The General Court of the European Union upheld antitrust fines against Credit Agricole and former Credit Suisse for colluding in the U.S. dollar-denominated SSA bonds market. Traders from these banks, along with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank, coordinated trading strategies and shared confidential pricing information over five years via Bloomberg chatrooms. Following the dismissal of their appeal, Credit Suisse is set to pay €11.9 million, Credit Agricole €3.9 million, and Bank of America €12.6 million, while Deutsche Bank, which reported the violations, avoided a €21.5 million fine.
