WASHINGTON — An extensive internal probe of Credit Suisse has uncovered 890 possible Nazi-linked accounts at the defunct bank that facilitated dictator Adolf Hitler’s war efforts and helped his lackeys escape to Argentina — one of several shocking findings that will be relayed to Congress during a Tuesday hearing. The Credit Suisse investigation suffered a setback due to sidelining of ombudsman Neil Barofsky for more than a year, according to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who first shared some of the preliminary findings with reporters. The discovery of nearly 900 accounts and hundreds of millions of dollars in Nazi financing at Credit Suisse will take center stage at the Senate hearing, though it’s unclear whether the revelations will prompt a reopening of a more than $1 billion settlement with Holocaust victims more than 20 years ago.
