The defunct Swiss Bank not only destroyed records of Jewish deposits during WWII but also helped Nazis to steal Jewish monies. Not only helped them but actively hindered the investigation of its criminal actions.
A committee of US lawmakers on Tuesday said troubled Swiss bank Credit Suisse Group CSGN.S hampered a multiyear investigation into the servicing of Nazi clients and Nazi-linked accounts.
Credit Suisse commissioned an investigation into allegations levied by a human rights organization that the bank held potential Nazi-linked accounts and failed to disclose them, even during Holocaust-related probes decades earlier. A Senate committee's recent investigation into the matter found the bank hindered the probe and "inexplicably terminated" an independent reviewer overseeing it.The "information we've obtained shows the bank established an unnecessarily rigid and narrow scope, and refused to follow new leads uncovered during the course of the review," Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, said in a statement.
Now we are starting to understand how those Nazis that immigrated LEGALLY to Argentina after the war arrived with such large fortunes and could buy themselves estancias in Patagonia. With the disappearance of Credit Suisse that chapter of the Holocaust is now closed and justice was not even remotely done.
