Discovered for case. In the midst of the litter piled up at the bulk in a basement of an old bank now in disuse. Poking around, he focused on the document titled abnormal, at least in the archaic: “the Congress of the Argentine Nation”. It has intrigued and started to flip through it.
Pedro Filippuzzi , a private investigator, he understood immediately that it was something big: you had stumbled on a network of 12 thousand nazis between 1941 and 1943, before the fall of the Third Reich, had taken off and had taken refuge in Argentina. The long list of names also indicated the amounts that were worn on the back and that they were the booty plundered to the millions of jews robbed of their possessions.
The list was a note. But in 1944 the government of the dictator thread German Edelmiro Farrel had dissolved the Commission in charge to analyze it and ordered the destruction of the document. Everyone thought the matter was closed, and with the waste this important trial had disappeared from circulation. They did not know that someone had made a copy of it was then for 80 years buried in the basement of the old institute.
Filippuzzi has contacted the Centre Simon Wiesenthal, famous for hunting the nazis who survived the collapse of Hitler’s regime, which, in turn, is directed to Credit Suisse demanding the return of the property stolen. The Centre has also been able to reconstruct the route followed by this treasure, which, according to the different hypotheses served to finance the legal activities that were put in place in Argentina by the nazis fugitives. Part of this money would be then returned to Europe through the swiss bank, Schweizerische Kreditanstalt, today become fact Credit Suisse.
“These accounts,” says Shimon Samuels , director of international Relations Centre Simon Wiesenthal, “included several German companies like IG Farben, manufacturer of the gas Zyklon-B used in the extermination chambers, and financial institutions like the Bank of the German Transatlantic liner, and the Tour of the German in South America. The banks which, apparently, served to make of the transactions of the nazi in Switzerland”.
The presence of a large community of a nazi in Buenos Aires, was known in the years following the end of the Second world war. It was estimated that it was formed by 1,400 people, supported by 12 investigators, and from other 8 thousand activists of a number of local organizations. The governments of the time pretending to nothing, and they act the newcomers as part of the mass of immigrants already arrived, to escape the conflict and terror of hitler, years before. But a round-up of the police in the headquarters of the Union of German corporations, a front for the thousands of immigrants who are the nazis of the Third Reich, led to the seizure of the list that was delivered to the Parliament of argentina.
“Not all of the 12 indicated in the document,” explains Ariel Gelblung , director for Latin America of the simon Wiesenthal, “were people who used triangulation to take away the money stolen by the nazis. But within the list there is certainly, those who used it”.
get rid of that money was vital to Hitler. There was the possibility to change the currency of germany to the us dollars. Transfer it in Argentina allowed to do so. Was mistaken with the green sheet, and from here came in Europe. According to Gelblung it is impossible to determine the amount of treasure deposited in the accounts of suspects. But it is certain that the large sum was used as the initial capital from Credit Suisse, built on the ashes of the Schweizerische Kreditanstalt.
