WASHINGTON: An investigation has identified 890 accounts at Swiss bank Credit Suisse with potential links to the Nazi regime, U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley said ahead of a Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday on banks’ facilitation of Holocaust-era activities.

The accounts included previously undisclosed wartime holdings for the German Foreign Office, a German arms manufacturer, the German Red Cross, and the paramilitary organization SS, Grassley said. New details also emerged on a scheme to help Nazis flee to Argentina after World War II.

Grassley, a Republican who chairs the Judiciary Committee, has been investigating Credit Suisse’s role during the Holocaust for years. “The SS’s economic arm maintained an account at Credit Suisse, and the bank’s relationships with Nazi organizations were more extensive than previously known,” he said.
