Credit Suisse kept open an account held by Ugandan arms dealer Emmanuel Katto even after he was publicly named in a judicial investigation as being involved in a corrupt helicopter deal, leaked banking data shows. Katto’s account at the bank was opened in January 1995, two years before he struck a deal with the Ugandan government to buy combat helicopters from Belarus’s state-owned arms company. When Ugandan forces tried to field the helicopters, they found them “in a sorry state,” according to a judicial commission report. That commission, appointed in 2000, found that Katto’s deal, and related expenses, had caused at least $6.8 million in losses for the Ugandan government. Katto was also found to have paid $800,000 in bribes to a top Ugandan official, the president’s brother, as he pushed the deal through.
