 APPLE

Apple is known for maintaining a relatively clean public

image when it comes to financial scandals. However,
there have been some controversies over the years

One of the most prominent incidents was the tax evasion

scandal in 2013, where it was discovered that Apple was
using aggressive tax strategies to minimize its tax
obligations.
Another scandal was related to the working conditions in
the factories of its suppliers in China, although this is not
strictly financial, it had an impact on the company's
perception and corporate responsibility.
Credit Suisse

In June 2022, Credit Suisse received a fine equivalent to 1.98

million dollars, after being found guilty in a trial for money
laundering of proceeds from Bulgarian drug traffickers.
the financial fine was not so significant, the scandal had an
impact on something more valuable: its prestige.

The investigation revealed that for years Credit Suisse had

kept fortunes of people linked to corruption from all over the
world, among them sanctioned businessmen or human rights
violators, with a combined value of some 100 billion dollars.
