A billion-dollar stash looted by the Nazis inside a Swiss bank was revealed after a list was found that survived destruction, bringing to fore activities of Hitler sympathizers in Argentina.
Their speculation of the fortune is believed to be hidden in a single account or more accounts in the Swiss bank Credit Suisse that is still sought today.
Hunt for Nazi Treasure
A treasure hunt for an immense amount began after the discovery of a secret list of 12,000 Nazis in Argentina, reported the Sun UK.
Lawyers from three continents are now rushing to look for the alleged fortune concealed in a Swiss bank for the last 78 years, noted Bild. It indicates those who transferred the fortune taken from Jews and all the valuables kept in Switzerland.
An Argentinian investigator Pedro Filipuzzi discovered the list and gave it to the Jewish human rights organization, Simon Wiesenthal Center. The organization investigates the holocaust and terrorism as a result of anti-Semitism. Specific names on the list are The German Union of Syndicate covering up for ex-Nazis escaping to Argentina after the second world war.
The center informed via a letter to Credit Suisse vice-president Christian Kung with their concerns about how inactive accounts may have looted monies for Jews under the Nuremberg Aryanization laws of the 1930s.
Several claimants are the heirs of the Nazis on the list. The center has asked for access to the institution's archives to settle the matter for the last survivors of the Jewish holocaust in regards to the Nazi billion-dollar Loot kept in the mystery Swiss bank account at Credit Suisse.
One of the organization's representatives, Dr. Ariel Gelblung, stated, "Not all of the 12,000 people on that list were people who transferred Nazi money to Germany, but all the people who did so are on that list.'
The presence of former Nazis was known based on the historical records. Then-president Jose Felix Uriburu and his successor Agustin Pedro Justo accepted a Nazi presence in Argentina during their tenures, cited the JPost.
A Search of the German Union of Guilds' headquarters yielded the surviving record with names of the Nazi followers is said to have been identified at the Argentine Congress in 1941.
Once the pro-Nazi United Officers' Group got power over the whole of Argentina in 1943, they preceded to destroy any record or traces that could be found, and the list included too.
Somehow Filipuzzi came across an original copy that escaped documents purging years back. He claimed to be in one of the storage rooms in the Nazi headquarters in Buenos Aires when he was 20 at the time. Included in the list were 500 pages of names, with large numbers that are amounts of money.
Connection to German Businesses
Several German firms were in the country during that time, and Nazi support would pay millions of pounds to Banco Transatlantico Aleman, connected to the Deutsche Bank.
The money was earmarked for German Winter Aid as a yearly donation from National Socialist People's Welfare to fund charity works.
Access to the Nazi billion-dollar loot in a mystery Swiss bank account at Credit Suisse is hard to get, with legal battles and controversies surrounding it over the years.
