The Credit Suisse Group AG spying scandal that has rocked Swiss financial circles took a new turn on Tuesday, with the private investigator hired by the bank giving its own version how it shadowed former star banker Iqbal Khan.

The details emerging show Credit Suisse hired a local company that offers cash collection, investigations and security services, asking it to take photos of Khan and identify any people he met, while avoiding getting too close to the target, according to a report sent to the bank and seen by Bloomberg.
