Prosecutors in Geneva have raided the offices of HSBC’s scandal-hit private bank as pressure increases on Britain’s biggest lender over allegations of money laundering and tax evasion.

Officers began searching HSBC’s premises in the Swiss city as part of a criminal inquiry amid accusations that the bank had helped customers, including arms dealers and blood diamond traders, move money around the world.

In a statement, the Geneva prosecutor’s office said it was investigating claims of “aggravated money laundering” by HSBC Private Bank (Suisse)

Prosecutions in so many countries, but not in UK where it is run from. Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that more than 50% of Conservative funding comes from the financial sector now could it? What, government strings being pulled by banks, fancy that!.
