Zurich Life Insurance admits to helping customers evade taxes from 2008-2014. Will pay $5.1M & agrees to cooperate in other cases by handing over the receipts... #ButNothingsHappening
Approximately 420 US taxpayers used these policies to hid assets from the IRS.
This is interesting... a "former U.S. citizen, who pled guilty to a federal fraud offense after purchasing a Zurich International Life policy, used that insurance policy to hide substantial assets, despite owing approximately $900,000 in restitution to his victims." Hiding cash.
Apparently Zurich approached the DOJ in 2015 after deciding it had to report the problem, but it took into 2016 to get approval from Swiss regulators to identify their customers due to bank secrecy laws. Why it took 3 more years to settle? Unknown...
