Missoulian: Credit
Suisse case called warning to foreign banks
Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division Kathryn Keneally Speaks at Press Conference Announcing Guilty Plea in Credit Suisse Offshore Tax Evasion Case
“Credit Suisse has now acknowledged that it acted in both the United States and Switzerland to aid and abet the use of secret Swiss bank accounts for the evasion of U.S. taxes. As set out in the statement of facts, Credit Suisse assisted its clients in using sham entities, soliciting IRS forms that falsely stated that those sham entities were the beneficial owners of assets in accounts with the bank, and facilitating access to the funds in those accounts in a manner designed to keep the accounts secret. It also failed to preserve documents that would have aided in our investigation. The plea agreement that has been announced today imposes serious consequences on Credit Suisse for this conduct. ”
