THE MOTU ARE CAUGHT AGAIN

Tax evasion is one of tactics the MOTU use in their class war, so it's nice to see that more of them are about to get nailed.

Credit Suisse, the big Swiss bank, on Wednesday came under heightened scrutiny of authorities in the United States and Germany over its sale of private banking services that enable tax evasion.

The United States Justice Department accused four private bankers on Wednesday of helping Americans evade taxes, widening its investigation of foreign financial institutions.

Federal prosecutors in Alexandria, Va., accused the bankers — Marco Parenti Adami, Emanuel Agustoni, Michele Bergantino and Roger Schaerer — of conspiracy and fraud in connection with their banking duties.

The indictment said that the four bankers also worked with three other banks to conceal the assets of wealthy Americans.

Although the indictment did not name the three other banks, a person close to the matter identified them as Bank Leumi, the big Israeli bank; and Bank Frey and Maerki Baumann, two smaller Swiss private banks.
