Swiss parliament blocks bill on easing bank secrecy
- 11 years ago
The Swiss parliament has effectively killed off a bill designed to sidestep secrecy laws to allow banks to release clients' details.
The lower house voted two-to-one against a debate even though the upper house backed it.
The Swiss government warned that without the law banks may be sued by US authorities chasing wealthy American tax dodgers.
