In response to the allegations, Credit Suisse announced an investigation that is now complete, according to the bank’s announcement Tuesday evening.

Investigators employed by CS found, after a two-year search, no evidence that many of the people on this list had accounts with the Schweizerische Kreditanstalt (SKA) or that the eight long-closed accounts identified during this period (1933-45) contained assets. “The number of Holocaust victims,” he said.

A list of 12 thousand National Socialist and Nazi regime sympathizers said to have lived in Argentina since the 1930s in the South American country has emerged. An Argentine inspector came across a list of sympathizers of the Hitler regime in Buenos Aires.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center claimed that a large number of these Nazi sympathizers had deposited funds into one or more of the SKA accounts. Among them was money taken from Jewish victims. According to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, many of the people on the list had ties to companies affiliated with the Nazi regime.

Credit Suisse also reviewed the list of 311 top Nazis sent by the Simon Wiesenthal Center to Switzerland 25 years ago, according to the information released on Tuesday. One account was closed in March 1933, and 12 more were found who opened SDG accounts only in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s and then closed them again.

Between 1997 and 1999, a commission of experts headed by former Federal Reserve Governor Paul Volcker examined the work of the SKA and about 60 other Swiss banks. The aim was to filter the accounts of alleged Holocaust victims.
