U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and John McCain are blasting Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse for helping U.S. clients evade taxes, and criticizing the U.S. Justice Department for being slow to collect unpaid taxes and hold the bank and tax-dodgers accountable. The permanent subcommittee on investigations they lead issued a new report detailing how the bank recruited U.S. customers and opened accounts for more than 22,000 individuals.
