The U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Treasury Department have increased their efforts to uncover U.S. taxpayers who are allegedly evading U.S. taxes by hiding assets in Switzerland. Switzerland has strict bank secrecy laws and a finding of tax fraud is required before any information is released about bank clients.
