Copyright concerns about this article were raised at the talk page of the Wikipedia copyright problems board. I have susbtantiated that at least some content has been copied directly. For example, the article says:
To summarise, it is apparent that the claims of surviving Holocaust victims were usually rejected under the pretext of banking secrecy and a clear preference for continuity in private law.
All in all, the investigations by the ICE,..., have made two things clear: first, the volume of the assets of Holocaust victims was much larger than the banks maintained or believed immediately after the war and after the Registration Decree of 1962.
Second, however, it should also be stated that the pace of growth in the Swiss financial sector was in no way dependent on the unclaimed assets that it retained. The amounts involved were too small for this. The image of a banking system that built its wealth on assets expropriated from victims of the Nazi regime is not based on the facts. [1]

The information is cited, but citation is insufficient to address plagiarism of directly duplicated content and, as this content is copyrighted © Pendo Verlag GmbH, Zürich 2002, it is also violation of our policy regarding non-free content to duplicate without acknowledging duplication either by quotation marks or blockquote. Moreover, quotations must be used transformatively; if we simply abridge their report, we are creating a derivative work.
I do not know if this is the only instance of this. This unmarked quote should be brought in line with policy, preferably by proper paraphrase. The rest of the article should be reviewed by contributors familiar with its contents to see if other quotations have been used out of keeping with our policies and guidelines or if close paraphrasing exists that may cross the line into abridgment.
If in spite of the copyright notice the content can be verified to be public domain or compatibly licensed, we can use their text directly, but only if we acknowledge the copying as set out at Wikipedia:Plagiarism.

This article does not at all address the large amount of criticism that this report has recieved. It reads very much like a very uncritical reproduction of the main findings / summary of the report. -- 188.155.1.133 ( talk) 21:04, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
