Swiss bank admits trashing Nazi era archival records
Switzerland's Union Bank of Switzerland acknowledged that an employee discarded archive material that could reveal Nazi era financial dealings. Authorities opened an investigation after a security guard rescued some documents, with loans to German firms and property deals from 1930 to 1970 among the contents. The incident follows a government ban on destroying archives as probes into Swiss wartime conduct continue.
