A group of journalists investigated the HSBC accounts in Switzerland and found the more affluent customers,
finding 61 people, including the 100,000 who have deposits of more than $ 100 billion in that bank.
Among the deposits found artists to sportsmen, through politicians, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ, the acronym in English) made investigations from the files released in the set of documents being called Swiss leaks.
The newspaper Le Monde had initially released some news, as profits from tax evasion or to fund illegal or questionable assets, such as those related to dictatorships and corrupt governments, but now ICIJ released more data.
In number of customers Brazil is in fourth place with 8667 customers in HSBC Private Bank list, taking the lead Switzerland with 11,235 customers, followed by France (9187) and third the UK with 8844, and after Brazil comes to Italy (7499).
