(Worthy News) – Israel’s largest bank admitted to its role in a massive US tax evasion scandal and money laundering conspiracy that will cost it more than $904 million.
According to court documents released on Thursday, employees at Bank Hapoalim B.M. (BHBM) and its wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary Bank Hapoalim Switzerland (BHS) conspired with US taxpayers to hide more than $7.6 billion in more than 5,500 secret Swiss and Israeli bank accounts.
