Nazi Linked Accounts

Credit Suisse accused of impeding probe into Nazi-linked accounts.

Credit Suisse has been accused by US lawmakers of limiting the scope of an internal investigation into Nazi clients and Nazi-linked accounts, including some that were open until just a few years ago. Despite the hurdles, reports from the ombudsman and a forensic research team revealed at least 99 accounts credibly tied to senior Nazi officials in Germany or members of Nazi-affiliated groups in Argentina, most of which were not previously disclosed. The latest findings come as problems have boiled over for Credit Suisse, a pillar of Swiss banking whose origins date to 1856, culminating in a government-orchestrated takeover by rival lender UBS.
