Deutsche Bank charged with tax fraud

Source: CNN

By Katie Lobosco

Deutsche Bank allegedly set up three shell companies to avoid paying millions of dollars in federal taxes, according to a lawsuit filed Monday by the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara seeks to recover $190 million in taxes, penalties and interest.

Deutsche Bank (DB) allegedly orchestrated the tax scheme in the spring of 2000.

The bank thought it had put this issue behind it a long time ago.
