Credit Suisse acknowledges misconduct

A Swiss bank accused of helping American clients to avoid paying billions of dollars in tax has acknowledged misconduct by some employees but insisted that its management was unaware of the problem.

The chief executive of Switzerland's second largest bank, Credit Suisse, told a US Senate inquiry that the compliance measures the bank had put in place had not prevented some Swiss-based private bankers from helping Americans to break US law.

The Senate inquiry found that the bank was alleged to have provided accounts worth over US$10 billion for more than 20.000 Americans, helping them to conceal their wealth.

The Senate report gave details of how Swiss bankers regularly travelled to the US to recruit customers at events including Florida golf tournaments and the annual Swiss Ball in New York.
