Credit Suisse Faces Threat Of New US Tax Probe

(Reuters) - Credit Suisse may be facing yet another investigation into its role in helping wealthy Americans avoid paying taxes after New York state's top financial regulator requested documents from the Swiss bank. Switzerland's second-largest lender had raised expectations that it was getting past the long-running American tax controversy when it set aside an extra half a billion dollars last week to deal with a U.S. Department of Justice probe into its involvement in offshore tax evasion.
