Submitted a guilty plea to a four-page criminal information?

Does "submitted a guilty plea to a four-page criminal information" mean "expressed to the court of its wrongdoing to an accusation carried out by the court (or Justice Department) in a four-page criminal document"?

Context:

"When the bank finally began to feel pressure" from a federal investigation launched in 2010, "Credit Suisse failed to retain key documents, allowed evidence to be lost or destroyed and conducted a shamefully inadequate internal inquiry," said Holder.
The bank ultimately submitted a guilty plea to a four-page criminal information. Court filings in the case cited two unidentified Credit Suisse clients, one from Charlottesville, Va., and the other from Elizabeth, N.J., who allegedly sought and received bank help with their offshore accounts.
Holder prefigured the Credit Suisse penalties with a May 5 http://www.justice.gov/agwa.php in which he declared: "There is no such thing as too big to jail."
