Credit Suisse Clients in Germany Questioned by Prosecutor Amid Tax Probe
Credit Suisse Group AG's clients in Germany are being questioned by prosecutors as part of a probe into allegations that employees of Switzerland's second-biggest bank may have helped customers evade taxes. About 1,500 letters with questionnaires were sent to Credit Suisse clients who had voluntarily declared their hidden accounts, Nils Bussee, a spokesman for the Dusseldorf prosecutors' office said by phone today. The recipients are being treated as witnesses in the case and are obliged to respond, he said, adding the office already received some answers. German authorities earlier this year obtained a disk with data that prompted probes against some 1,100 customers of the Zurich-based bank. German offices of Credit Suisse were searched last month by the Dusseldorf investigators, who said they seized 'substantial' amounts of data.
