A new probe of Swiss bank Credit Suisse discovered 890 previously undisclosed accounts with potential Nazi links, a U.S. senator said on Tuesday, amid efforts to shine a light on what he said was the bank’s hidden role in World War Two crimes.
Holders of the wartime accounts included the German Foreign Office, the SS paramilitary organization and a German arms-manufacturing company, U.S. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley told reporters in a briefing.
He gave no details on how much money might have been held in the accounts and their current status.
The organizations were part of the Nazi apparatus under German leader Adolf Hitler that enabled the Holocaust, which killed about 6 million Jewish people.
UBS trying really hard to keep their name out of this.
CS hasn’t existed for a while. They were absorbed into UBS, albeit with some protests on the latter part.
It would be interesting to know the financial movements of those accounts, especially after '45.
Funny how that shows up just now
This seems like a plausible story, except Chuck Grassley is telling it. Has this been independently verified by someone who isn’t a corrupt idiot?
Repubs are in the pocket of israel even more than the nazis. This is proof. Lotsa dems, too. But it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a dem call out nazis. It surprised me when I got to the portion of the article where he was named.
How the fuck does the SS bank account fly under the radar for 80 years.
Barofsky led an earlier investigation when Credit Suisse was independent and said the bank sought to obstruct the effort and fired him.
Oh, because nazis.
INB4 they seize it and give it to Israel as “reparations” (to be immediately spent on munitions against Palestinians).
… and if this has legs, it makes this even more suspicious!
Why seal papers relating to UBS’ acquisition for 50 frigging years??
So their parliament investigation into all sorts of criminality at one of the Nazi Gold banks means that it’ll take MORE time before the public is informed, if they ever will be?
What kind of ass-backwards bullshit is that?! 🤬
Start counting the accounts held by prominent US personalities and you’ll find a whole lot more.
