ARTA – The US Senate found the findings of an account holder or investment banking client of Nazi-affiliated Credit Suisse.
citing AFP, Sunday, January 5, the findings were based on an investigation by a US Senate panel which found that Credit Suisse hid information on a number of its Nazi-controlled bank accounts during World War II.
The U.S. Senate budget chief said Saturday that it had found tens of thousands of documents during an investigation into new evidence of Nazi-linked Credit Suisse bank account holders during World War II.
ronym: The committee explains that there is a set of newly discovered files, including 3,600 physical documents and 40,000 microfilms. The entire dossier has a “high level of relevance” in relation to the Nazis.
During an earlier investigation, the Committee said, Credit Suisse failed to disclose the existence of related accounts, particularly in the 1990s.
Credit Suisse, now a subsidiary of investment bank UBS, agreed to pay $1.25 billion in 1998 as part of resolving legal issues raised by Holocaust survivors.
Although at that time, Credit Suisse was accused of not being fully open about its past dealings with the Nazis.
al based on a report by former US Attorney Neil Barofsky, who was fired as an “Independent Ombudsman” by Credit Suisse bank in 2022.
Barofsky was fired after suspected restrictions on his investigative work.
According to the investigation conducted by the US Senate Budget Committee after UBS took control of Credit Suisse, Barofsky was brought back for his role as “independent Ombudsman”.
Barofsky wrote to the U.S. Senate panel on Saturday: “An extraordinary level of cooperation has been extended by Credit Suisse, led by UBS.”
he said Credit Suisse had not shared all the information it had.
Wall Street Journal reports the Barofsky team’s findings, including bank accounts controlled by high-ranking Nazi SS officers.
Ina Barofsky writes in her letter: “Many of the client files in these examples are marked with keywords reading ‘American schwarze lists’ – lists developed by allies containing individuals and companies directly funded by, or known to negotiate regularly with, the force of Poros.
ronym: “A file containing this stamp is linked to the entity involved in the sale of seized Jewish assets”
When contacted by AFP, UBS admitted that it had agreed to provide detailed records of allegedly Nazi-linked accounts at Credit Suisse’s predecessor banks.
UBS added that it would provide all necessary assistance to Barofsky in his work on this discovery.
the investigation into Credit Suisse bank accounts by the Nazis continues by a US Senate panel.
