Credit Suisse Settles Spying Case With Former Wealth Chief Khan
Credit Suisse Group AG said it reached a settlement with its former wealth-management executive Iqbal Khan and a private detective firm, calling to a close a spying scandal that rocked one of Europe’s biggest lenders and ultimately led to the ouster of its chief executive officer Tidjane Thiam last year.
“All involved parties have agreed to settle, and this matter is now closed,” a spokesperson for the bank said on Sunday, confirming that it had reached a settlement with Khan, his wife and the private detective firm Investigo. No further details were disclosed. A probe by Swiss financial regulator, Finma, over the company’s surveillance activities is ongoing. In 2019, Credit Suisse hired a private investigator to spy on Khan, once seen as a potential successor to the CEO before defecting to rival UBS Group AG. The incident culminated in a physical confrontation in downtown Zurich between Khan and the men who followed him, shaking Switzerland’s financial world and setting off investigations by Zurich’s prosecutor and the company’s board of directors. The settlement would close a chapter for Credit Suisse as it seeks to move past a string of recent scandals. It faces an exodus of senior bankers after the collapse of Archegos Capital Management and Greensill Capital. In the aftermath, new chairman Antonio Horta-Osorio pledged a review of the bank’s businesses.
Credit Suisse is set to report its second-quarter earnings on July 29.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visits Fort Wainwright, Eielson Air Force Base
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met with troops Saturday at Fort Wainwright and Eielson Air Force Base. It wrapped up a two-day visit to Alaska. It’s the first leg in a weeklong trip by Austin to Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines. “We are an Indo-Pacific nation and we are an Arctic nation. Here in Alaska, those two critical regions intersect,” said Austin. “This is where we can project power into both regions and where we must be able to protect ourselves from threats coming from both places.” Alaska is the focal point of the Pentagon’s Arctic strategy due to rising military threats from China and Russia. But the state poses its own challenges.

Russia PM to visit disputed isle off Japan's Hokkaido
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin plans to visit one of the Moscow-controlled, Tokyo-claimed islands within the next two days for the first time after last July's constitutional amendment barring the country from ceding territory to a foreign power, Russian officials said Sunday.
The planned visit to Etorofu Island by Mishustin, second in power after President Vladimir Putin, on Monday or Tuesday, will also be the first trip to the disputed isles by the prime minister since his predecessor Dmitry Medvedev's visit in August 2019. Putin said Friday he told Mishustin prior to the premier's trip to the Russian Far East to pay extra attention to the isles, adding Mishustin made a good proposal on the joint economic activities by Japan and Russia on the four islands known as the Northern Territories in Japan and the Southern Kurils in Russia. The two countries have agreed to carry out joint economic projects on the islands in such areas as aquaculture, wind power and waste reduction as a trust-building exercise.
The dispute over the islands Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and the Habomai islet group seized by the Soviet Union after Japan's surrender in World War II in 1945 has prevented the two countries from concluding a postwar peace treaty.

Austin Administers Speedy Swearing-In for DOD's New Indo-Pacific Policy Guru
At 614 miles per hour, it may have been the fastest oath ceremony for an assistant secretary of defense ever as Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III today administered the oath of office to Ely Ratner aboard an Air Force E-4B headed to Singapore. Ratner, who is now the assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs, had helmed DOD's China Task Force. The Senate approved Ratner's nomination July 22. Austin swore in Ratner in the press room of the so-called "doomsday plane." The 747-derivative was flying at 30,000 feet at N 52.22, W 168.05, according to the crew
The aircraft had left Fairbanks, Alaska, earlier in the day.
