The Blick newspaper this morning is reporting a team of lawyers and detectives believe there could be an account with Credit Suisse worth more than a billion dollars – money stolen from Jewish victims of the holocaust.
Documents discovered in an Argentinian warehouse in 1984 suggest the money is in a dormant account.
The papers run to 500 pages and have 12,000 German names, with dates of birth – and ‘ominous’ numbers, quotes the paper.
There are also the names of German companies that had agencies in Argentina in the 1930s.
The man who first discovered the papers, Pedro Filipuzzi, says he didn’t realise the importance of the papers until years later.
Credit Suisse says it has not found an account - despite already having a 40 strong team supposedly tracking down secret accounts.
It says if the investigators want access to the bank’s records, they will have to go through the courts.
