Falciani list: searches continue in Spanish banks

In the morning the Madrid headquarters of BNP Paribas was raided by the Central Operating Unit Civil Guard officers (Uco) that required, by order of Judge José de la Mata, data and information relating to alleged money laundering at the bank in Geneva hsbc.

The raid comes four days after a similar operation at the headquarters of Banco Santander in Boadilla del Monte. The origin of the survey is the so-called Falciani list.
Judge José de la Mata is investigating the activities of HSBC in Spain in relation to Falciani list, which includes more than 600 holders of Spanish accounts worth about 6 billion euro, held at the headquarters of the Geneva private bank.

The list spread by former HSBC computer Hervé Falciani, recently sentenced in absentia by a Swiss court for industrial espionage, has prompted numerous investigations for tax evasion in various countries.
