WASHINGTON — The US Justice Department Thursday charged three former Credit Suisse bankers and a Swiss trust company founder with helping wealthy Americans evade US taxes by keeping money in secret Swiss bank accounts.

Thursday's Justice Department statement noted that the conspiracy to help US citizens evade taxes dated back to 1953, and involved "two generations of US tax evaders including US customers who inherited secret accounts at the international bank."
