Düsseldorf - Credit Suisse, the subsidiary of UBS, has reached a settlement in a billion-dollar lawsuit against Australian insurer IAG related to the Greensill controversy, according to a statement released by IAG on Friday. The conditions of the agreement remain confidential, the statement says. According to IAG, the total value of the claims made by the Credit Suisse entities amounts to approximately 2.8 billion Australian dollars (around 1.6 billion Swiss francs), including interest. The settlement comes just days before the scheduled start of proceedings in an Australian court.
