GENEVA (AP) — U.S. lawmakers say Credit Suisse kept allowing wealthy Americans to dodge tax payments, finding after a two-year investigation that the embattled Swiss bank violated a 2014 plea agreement it entered for enabling tax evasion.The U.S. Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday pointed to a possible criminal conspiracy tied to nearly $100 million in secret offshore accounts belonging to one family of American taxpayers that the bank didn’t disclose.The committee said its findings show that more than $700 million was concealed in violation of Credit Suisse’s 9-year-old plea deal.“Credit Suisse got a discount on the penalty it faced in 2014 for enabling tax evasion because bank executives swore up and down they’d get out of the business of defrauding the United States,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, the Democratic chairman of the committee. “This investigation shows Credit Suisse did not make good on that promise, and the bank’s pending acquisition does not wipe the slate clean.”Th...Sweden finds woman guilty of war crimes for gruesome photos

CIUDAD JUÁREZ, México — Cuando empezó a salir humo de un centro de detención de migrantes en la ciudad fronteriza de Ciudad Juárez, México, la migrante venezolana Viangly Infante Padrón quedó aterrorizada porque sabía que su esposo seguía dentro.El padre de sus tres hijos había sido detenido ese día por agentes de inmigración, dentro de una reciente operación donde fueron detenidos otros 67 migrantes, muchos de los cuales pedían limosna o lavaban ventanas de autos en semáforos de la ciudad, al otro lado de la frontera con El Paso, Texas.En momentos de conmoción y espanto, Infante Padrón recordó cómo vio a los agentes de inmigración salir corriendo del edificio cuando comenzó el fuego el lunes por la noche. Más tarde sacaron los cuerpos de migrantes en camillas, envueltos en mantas de emergencia. El resultado: 38 muertos y 28 heridos graves, víctimas de un incendio al parecer provocado como protesta por los propios detenidos.

One minute he’s talking about a blockbuster, all-British heavyweight fight with Tyson Fury.The next he’s looking forward to “loving life” in retirement, free from the pressure of an expectant public.Such are the stakes for Anthony Joshua in a fight that comes at a crossroads in his career.Coming off consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, the former two-time world champion takes on American boxer Jermaine Franklin at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday for a non-title bout that is bigger than it appears at first glance.If Joshua loses, his career is pretty much in ruins. OK, he could still sell fights — he has been a huge draw in Britain for a decade, ever since he won Olympic gold at the London Games in 2012 — but he will no longer have the credibility to go along with the hype.And, to be sure, the hype was justified in his golden period from 2016-18 when he won seven straight world title fights, including an epic against Wladimir Klitschko in front of 90,000 spectators in 2017, to allow h...Latest news
