can I add "so the next time someone gets in-yo-face about swiss neutrality, remind them of this, and say the modern day swiss are no better then hitler" or would that be too much of a POV?

Well you posed and answered the question yourself ;-) Only one such incident is known, albeit I would think a very serious one. Those who would like to draw conclusions of any kind are welcome to do so, without the information provider telling what it should be. NPOV always seems more respectful of people's mental skills: we provide information, while trusting you are very capable of thinking yourself. gidonb 10:48, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sources?[edit]

Are there any (reliable) sources for the numerous allegations in this article? A few examples?

He discovered that officials at UBS destroyed the credit balances of deceased Jewish clients, which was a violation of Swiss laws since it is required that any credit balances that existed would be paid to the family members of Jews who had perished in the Holocaust. Which Swiss law were violated?

The Swiss authorities reacted with an arrest warrant against Christoph Meili Is there any evidence for such an arrest warrant?

Christoph Meili and his family are the only Swiss nationals in history ever to have been granted political asylum in the United States. Is there any evidence for this statement?

etc.

Article referenced and expanded a little. Lupo 14:29, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, this edit at the German Wikipedia was inappropriate. The paragraph is badly phrased, but a little reformulation could have saved it. Lupo 14:43, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've also removed the video link. The man shown may be Meili, though it's a bit hard to tell due to the extremely poor quality—cell phone cameras aren't exactly up to this task. :-) But in any case Wikipedia is not a platform for propaganda. If Meili has an axe to grind with the Swiss newspaper Blick, he should find other channels. (And in any case, I guess the mainstream media will pick up on that video soon enough.) Self-published works are not suitable as references or whatever for Wikipedia articles. Lupo 16:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Idiocy![edit]

Here http://www.kantonsrat.zh.ch/Dokumente/Sitzungen/KR-Protokolle/1995-1999/160.DOC on page 1744/45 is written, that these Documents are from 1897/1927! It was a Lie from Fagan and Co.! -Could somebody hwo can better write english do this in the article. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.60.68.45 (talk) 08:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I must agree on this. -From the German Wiki-article it seems destruction of the old documents were irrelevant to the Swiss banks involvement in the Nazi crimes. Unfortunately the link to documentation is of no use. 94.144.63.87 (talk) 12:30, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification needed on the lawsuits[edit]

Per my commet [1], clarification is needed. As I mentioned the section mentions a lawsuit of US$2.56 billion on the behalf of Meili. This seem to suggest he was the only plantiff, however US$2.56 billion for a single individual plantiff seems way excessive even if the lawsuit was filed in the US where plantiffs seeking very high amounts seems common, particularly given the circumstances of the case. If the US$2.56 billion was actually a lawsuit with multiple plantiffs I presume holocaust survivors and Meili (which would make far more sense), this should be mentioned in the article. It sounds like the US $1.25 billion figure was definitely for multiple plantiffs with Meili only getting US$1 million but this isn't properly explained (neither who the other plantiffs are and it's only later when we read about Meili complaining about not getting the US$1 million that we read anything about how much he may have actually been supposed to receive as part of the settlement and considering the earlier mention of 2.56 billion I'm guessing some readers may misread the section in to thinking Meili really got a settlement with something like that amount of money).
