It is not illegal to have Swiss accounts. But as you may know, it is a topic of considerable public debate, and several governments have been investigating the owners of such accounts. There are a number of ways such accounts and also offshore trusts have been used to avoid inheritance tax, UK domestic tax, or tax imposed by other countries. Such accounts have also been used to launder money. We have seen records held in the US identifying you among those who have held accounts. These accounts contained assets of up to USD 3.5m, and include: HSBC (Suisse) SA FAMILY INTEREST L.P. 22079 BESSIE JEFFREY EPSTEIN 1) You may therefore have been a person evading or avoiding tax, or laundering money. We will be particularly concerned with these questions: 2) Why you had Swiss accounts. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030378
