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.
