Swiss banks systematically helped dictators, war criminals, and oligarchs hide billions in stolen wealth for decades β€” documented evidence
🟒 CONFIRMED

The 2022 'Suisse Secrets' leak exposed Credit Suisse accounts linked to 30,000+ clients including autocrats, war criminals, human traffickers, and drug dealers holding CHF 100+ billion. Earlier revelations showed Swiss banks held funds stolen by Haiti's Duvalier (CHF 4.5M), Nigeria's Abacha (CHF 321M), Egypt's Mubarak ($570M), and Tunisia's Ben Ali ($60M). The U.S. Helsinki Commission called Switzerland 'a leading enabler of Putin and his cronies.' Swiss bank secrecy was codified in 1934.
