ARI Onassis' & Adolf Hitler's Moravian Bankster: Hjalmar von Eggers Schacht (Reuters) - The United States indicted Wegelin, the oldest Swiss private bank, on charges that it enabled wealthy Americans to evade taxes on at least $1.2 billion hidden in offshore bank accounts, the U.S. Justice Department said on Thursday. The announcement, by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, represents the first time an overseas bank has been indicted by the United States for enabling tax fraud by U.S. taxpayers. The indictment said the U.S. government had seized more than $16 million from Wegelin's correspondent bank, the Swiss giant UBS AG, in Stamford, Connecticut, via a separate civil forfeiture complaint. Because Wegelin has no branches outside Switzerland, it used correspondent banking services, a standard industry practice, to handle money for U.S.-based clients. UBS could not be reached for immediate comment. Albena Bjorck, a spokeswoman for Wegelin, declined to comment. Switzerland is seeking a global solution for its entire banking industry, not just the 11 banks under criminal scrutiny. On Tuesday, the Swiss finance ministry handed U.S. authorities encrypted data on bank employees who served U.S. clients suspected of dodging taxes, and said it would only provide the key to decipher the data once the row was settled. http://news.yahoo.com/u-justice-department-indicts-swiss-bank-wegelin-021153409.html Swiss Bankers Charged With Hiding More Than $1 Billion From The IRS Three Swiss bankers were charged Tuesday with hiding more than $1.2 billion in U.S. taxpayer accounts from the IRS, by Preet Bharar, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney. The case has been assigned to Judge Jed Rakoff, according to the release. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/03/swiss-bankers-irs_n_1181784.html?ref=business Founded in 1741, Wegelin & Co. is Switzerland's oldest bank. As a limited partnership, it is one of the few remaining Swiss private banks whose partners have unlimited liability. This legal status - based on the principles of autonomy and personal responsibility - characterizes the business of Wegelin & Co. to a considerable degree. The bank is currently led by eight managing partners with unlimited liability: Dr. Otto Bruderer, Dr. Konrad Hummler, Dr. Steffen Tolle, Mr. Michele Moor, Dr. Magne Orgland, Mr. Christian Hafner, Dr. Adrian Künzi and Dr. Christian Raubach.
