About 200 protesters gathered outside Credit Suisse Group AG’s headquarters in Zurich this evening following the bank’s collapse.

The demonstrators, chanting “revolution” and “eat the rich,” threw eggs at the building in Paradeplatz, the heart of the city’s financial district. Police officers looked on as the protesters made speeches against the power of Switzerland’s financial sector.
