Le scandale de GP Global: Entretien de Patrick Eberhardt et Michael Lepper dans «Le Temps»

  • Switzerland

    23-03-2021

    Lundi 22 mars 2021, le journal Le Temps a publié un article au sujet de la fraude massive de « GP Global » dont huit banques suisses étaient victimes. Patrick Eberhardt et Michael Lepper soulignent que :

    «Il semble que les transactions étaient fictives dès le départ et que les banques ont financé des cargaisons non existantes. Donc le gage sur la marchandise et la cession du produit n’ont jamais existé, tout comme l’éventuelle couverture d’une assurance crédit.»

    «L’élément clé est la proximité avec le client; pour un petit négociant, les banques suivent les cargaisons et vérifient toutes les étapes, comme le stockage et la qualité de l’acheteur final. Mais les grands négociants sont plus réticents à laisser les banques regarder leur activité en détail.»
