US senators challenge Credit Suisse Nazi accounts probe

ZURICH: Credit Suisse announced that a two-year investigation had found no evidence to support claims that many Nazis in Argentina had accounts at the bank’s predecessor during the Nazi era.

United States senators, however, contested the way in which the probe had been carried out, saying it had left “blind spots” in forensic research for Nazi-linked records.

In 2020, the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC), an organisation which researches anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, claimed that many individuals on a list of members of a Nazi-affiliated Argentine labour organisation had accounts at Schweizerische Kreditanstalt (SKA), Credit Suisse’s predecessor bank.
