Credit Suisse "helped its U.S. customers conceal their Swiss accounts" and avoid billions of dollars in American taxes, a report has alleged. It claims the bank opened Swiss accounts for more than 22,000 US customers, with assets totalling $12bn (£7.2bn) at their peak. The report alleges bankers helped clients create offshore shell entities and design transactions to avoid arousing suspicion.
