Neil Barofsky, the former watchdog appointed by the United States, is making a comeback in the financial world. This time, he has been assigned to oversee the investigation into the Swiss bank Credit Suisse’s handling of Nazi-linked accounts. Barofsky had previously worked on a similar investigation until he was dismissed by the bank. The decision to bring him back has caused controversy, with some senators in Washington criticizing Switzerland for its handling of the matter. Meanwhile, the UBS, another Swiss financial institution, is facing its own challenges as it seeks to expand its business in the United States. Barofsky’s appointment is seen as a way for the UBS to demonstrate its commitment to addressing historical issues. However, there are concerns that the cost of the investigation will ultimately be borne by the taxpayers. This situation highlights the dependence of Switzerland’s financial industry on the United States and the potential consequences for the country.
