Authorities raided the Buenos Aires offices of British bank HSBC on Wednesday investigating alleged tax evasion involving more than 4,000 influential locals' Swiss accounts, a court source said. About 100 agents took part in the raid, the source said, adding the bank gave "court authorities the documents that are available and is in the process of additional steps." In November, Argentina's tax agency, AFIP, charged HSBC with helping 4,040 Argentines avoid paying taxes by stashing money in secret Swiss accounts on their behalf.
