Swiss bank Wegelin to close after US tax evasion fine

bbc.co.uk

BBC News:

Wegelin, which was established in 1741, has also agreed to pay $57.8m (£36m; 44m euros) in fines to US authorities…

The bank had admitted to allowing more than 100 American citizens to hide $1.2bn from the Internal Revenue Service for almost 10 years….
