A massive leak from Credit Suisse revealed the global investment bank managed hundreds of millions of dollars with known criminals and human rights abusers.
The data, which was shared by an unidentified whistleblower, includes information on more than 18,000 bank accounts opened from the 1940s through the 2010s and containing a combined $100 billion of assets.
The New York Times reported that account holders listed in the findings include King Abdullah II of Jordan, two sons of Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak, and the sons of a Pakistani intelligence chief who was involved in smuggling large sums of money from several countries to Islamic guerrillas in Afghanistan and corrupt Venezuelan officials.
The findings also included 25 since-closed accounts totalling $270 million belonging to individuals accused of involvement in a Venezuelan oil scandal, including Venezuela's former vice minister of energy, Nervis Villalobos, according to The New York Times.
