The Department of Justice announced today that BNP Paribas (Suisse) SA (BNPP), KBL (Switzerland) Ltd. (KBL Switzerland) and Bank CIC have reached resolutions under the department’s Swiss Bank Program. These banks will collectively pay penalties totaling more than $81 million and continue to cooperate with the department. “As reflected in today’s agreements, we continue to shine a bright light on the individuals and institutions that have used so-called ‘secret Swiss bank accounts’ to engage in and assist U.S. tax evasion,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline D. Ciraolo of the Justice Department’s Tax Division. “The department, working hand in hand with the IRS, is actively pursuing criminal and civil cases against those engaged in such conduct.” The Swiss Bank Program, which was announced on Aug. 29, 2013, provides a path for Swiss banks to resolve potential criminal liabilities in the United States. Swiss banks eligible to enter the program were required to advise the department by Dec. 31, 2013, that they had reason to believe that they had committed tax-related criminal offenses in connection with undeclared U.S.-related accounts. Banks already under criminal investigation related to their Swiss-banking activities and all individuals were expressly excluded from the program.
