Kudinov stated that several UBS and Credit Suisse clients who have dual citizenship were faced with this problem. They all allegedly pay taxes in Switzerland and do not receive any income or pay taxes in Russia. According to information from Ivan Tikhonenko's lawmaster, one of the Swiss banks refused to open accounts to some Israeli citizens who retained the Russian passport.
He added that banks demanded a documentary confirmation of the abandonment of Russian citizenship for further cooperation with the clients of the firm. According to the interlocutor of the publication in this company, another bank closed the account of the client of the Russian consulting company, which has Russian citizenship and permission to reside in Switzerland.
Journalists noted that in 2022-2023, Swiss banks closed the accounts of Russian clients with a balance sheet of less than $ 1 million, and for new clients from Russia raised a minimum account opening to $ 5-10 million.
The source of the newspaper says that wealthy Russians began to actively receive local residence permits, but now banks not only pay attention to the availability of this document or even a Swiss passport, but checking whether the client has any income in Russia and whether it pays taxes there. . We will remind, earlier the media reported that in the Russian Federation unknown robbed the cell "Rosdorbank" owned by the Vice -president of the same bank Oleg Zhigila.
