タックス・ヘイブン：イタリア系銀行がスイスを脱出
昨年イタリア国税が実施した厳しい追及が影響して、スイスのティチーノ（ルガノ）地区にあるイタリア系銀行が、次々と閉店または支店売却を強いられている。
要因は、イタリア国税の追及が、従来のような一時的な措置でなく、永続的である。イタリア系の資金が流出して利幅が減った。イタリア警察が国境を監視カメラで撮影しており、トリノからルガノに車で入国すると、あとで捜索を受ける。租税条約が変更され、スイスがイタリア国税からの問い合わせに返答するようになった。など。
Italian banks have fled from Switzerland
Since Italy's government, the more rigorous fight against tax evaders has taken up the cause, Switzerland is not a good place for more Italian banks. The fear of raids but also the high cost of new regulation in the country is forcing institutions to sell its Swiss operations or close.

HB MILAN. Italian banks in Switzerland increased return back. In just the past 18 months, eight financial institutions closed in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino their doors or have been sold. Four of them belonged to Italian banks. In July, Italy's largest bank Unicredit sold its Swiss business for around 42 million €. In September, the Italian insurer Fondiaria-SAI, the private financial institution Banca Gesfid sold to the Swiss private bank PKB for around 100 million €.
"The large Italian banks will sooner or later all go away and just sell or close," said Deputy Board Chairman of the PKB, Fernando Zari. Experts explain this development with raids in the Italian home on suspicion of tax evasion, lower yields since the financial crisis and more stringent checks on compliance with banking secrecy.
Especially in the border Canton Ticino BunkerT some Italians long their assets in a kind of tax haven. The Bankers Association of the region was estimated last year the assets of its members, with about 280 billion euros.
The damp Italian government is now massively but against tax evaders. Economy Minister Giulio Tremonti under the tax amnesty funds abroad is controlled more vigorously. Italians who travel to Switzerland to be searched by the police and street cameras capture car number plates. Since a customs declaration in April are 39 billion euros flowed back into the Italian homeland.
"There is an incompatibility between the Italian regulation and the presence of foreign banks," said financial analyst Bruno Chastonay. The chairman of the Association of Foreign Banks in Switzerland, Martin Maurer founded, the dwindling presence of Italian money houses with the ratio of cost to profitability.
Analyst Marco Mazzoni of Magstat expects that the trend continues, "I am convinced that the closures continue, purchases and mergers in Lugano in the next two years, because the future of tax havens has changed."
