In a report, the Daily Telegraph newspaper alleged that a list disclosed by a whistleblower had shown drug dealers and other criminals were using accounts based in Jersey. It said the list identified 4,388 people holding 699 million pounds (US$438 million) in offshore current accounts. Jersey, a British dependency off the coast of France which has its own currency and tax laws, is a major offshore financial center. HSBC said it was also investigating the allegations and the purported loss of client data in Jersey.
