  • Credit Suisse's services unit agreed to pay $511 million in fines, penalties, restitution, and forfeitures, authorities said.

Credit Suisse pleaded guilty to helping wealthy Americans evade taxes through an offshore unit, agreeing to pay $2.6 billion in penalties, marking the largest such fine ever imposed on a bank. This plea follows a similar case against UBS in 2009, where UBS paid $780 million for assisting clients in hiding assets. The Department of Justice highlighted that Credit Suisse's actions spanned over a decade, involving thousands of accounts and billions in assets, with the bank failing to disclose nearly 23,000 accounts to the IRS.
