Pierin Vincenz spent almost 200,000 francs in strip club, says it was related to work

A well-known Swiss banker faces nearly 4 years in prison for wrongly letting his bank, Raiffeisen Switzerland, wind up for his visit to nightclubs and a Tinder date. In addition, Pierin Vincenz, former banker of the year, has been found guilty of theft, corruption and forgery in writing.

As a result, some of the deals he made were illegal. They also made Raiffeisen millions.

The 65-year-old Vincenz has maintained from the beginning that he is innocent. For visits to strip clubs, he declared almost 200,000 Swiss francs, but he says those visits were related to his work. The amount of 700 francs he declared for a dinner party with a Tinder date would be justified because he considered giving her a job.

The court, which had to move the hearings in the case to a theater in Zurich because of the enormous interest, is mincing his statement. The expenses would be “out of proportion” and ” not in the company’s interest.”
