WASHINGTON — A lawyer hired by now-defunct Credit Suisse to investigate its financial ties to the Nazi regime told senators Tuesday that he was sidelined by Swiss bankers who wanted “to suppress the truth” about the Third Reich “profiting off of the Holocaust. ” Neil Barofsky, who is serving as ombudsman of an internal probe into the reported billions of dollars held in Nazi-linked accounts at the bank, made the claims in explosive testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Preliminary findings from that probe shared with the committee cited at least 890 accounts potentially affiliated with Nazis, including “628 individuals and 262 legal entities,” according to Barofsky’s written testimony.
