Argentinian conservative President Javier Milei has agreed to unseal records hidden for decades that would reveal how Credit Suisse and its predecessor banks helped finance escaping Nazis after World War II so they could evade justice.

In mid-February, Iowa GOP Sen. Charles Grassley —who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee investigating Credit Suisse’s historical Nazi connections — sent Milei a letter requesting him to unseal the records. “I continue to fight to shine light on the wrongs and injustices from this darkest chapter in history,” Grassley wrote. “This includes decades-long efforts to track the Nazis’ confiscation of all kinds of Jewish valuables and cash.”
Speaking of former U.S. Inspector General Neil Barofsky, who was appointed as the Independent Ombudsperson to comprehensively investigate Credit Suisse&#8217;s archives, he stated, “Despite the banks&#8217; best efforts at obstruction, Mr. Barofsky has uncovered a ‘significant connection’ between Credit Suisse and many individuals who helped Nazis flee Europe after World War II via ‘ratlines,’ which are monetary and logistic pathways used by Credit Suisse and other institutions to help Nazis escape justice and relocate to Argentina, among other countries.”
Barofsky <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/nazi-ties-to-credit-suisse-ran-deeper-than-was-known-hidden-files-reveal-285ab620">had been hired</a> by Credit Suisse in 2021 after the Simon Wiesenthal Center found additional information regarding the possible Nazi connection, but he was fired when the bank felt he had gone too far. He was reinstated in 2023 after Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) rescued Credit Suisse. In 2024, Barofsky told the U.S. Senate Banking Committee that UBS had fully opened its archives. Two separate panels said that Swiss bankers routinely ignored Nazis stealing Jewish assets and also later blocked families’ efforts to reclaim their money.
“The goal and motivation behind this work is to bring about justice and transparency,” Grassley continued. “Regardless of how much time passes, the truth is worth pursuing and the stories of this dark time period are worth telling and making part of the historical record for future generations. &#8230; I&#8217;m copying President Trump on this letter because my investigative work is being done out of profound respect for the brave and courageous men and women of the United States Armed Forces who fought against Hitler and the Nazis, and freed the courageous Jewish people from those evils &#8211; a sentiment that he would most assuredly agree with.”

At Senator Grassley’s request, President Milei agreed to open Argentina&#8217;s archives so the world can finally see how Swiss banks helped fund and coordinate Nazis escaping Europe after the war, then covered it up for decades.

Switzerland&#8217;s highest court has ruled that a mother and father must facilitate their daughter&#8217;s gender transition or face criminal charges, The Daily Wire has learned.
The Swiss Federal Supreme Court (Schweizerisches Bundesgericht) rejected an appeal from the parents, who argued that both the Swiss Federal Constitution and international law protected their right to protect their daughter from a sex change, according to ADF International, the legal group backing the parents. They have been separated by court order from their daughter for over a year and a half because they objected to this transition attempt, according to ADF International, which said the court&#8217;s judgement was made on November 6 but embargoed until this week.
The parents are considering appealing to the European Court of Human Rights in order to protect their daughter, The Daily Wire has learned.
“We are heartbroken,&#8221; the father said in a statement to The Daily Wire. &#8220;We love our daughter and only want what’s best for her. We know this decision is not in her best interest.&#8221;
“That we could face criminal charges for simply trying to care for our daughter shows how deeply embedded transgender ideology is in Swiss institutions and the real harms it causes,&#8221; he added. “We are considering our next steps.”
The parents <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-parents-ask-swiss-supreme-court-to-block-daughters-gender-transition">had appealed a July ruling</a> from Geneva’s Court of Justice, which ordered them to turn over their daughter’s legal documents in order for the state to help her change her sex in the civil registry from female to male. She first began expressing confusion with her gender when she was around 13-years-old, according to her father. When her parents declined to put her on puberty blockers, they embarked on a years-long legal battle that resulted in the government removing her from their care.
They fear that the legal “sex change” may lead their daughter to also attempt a physical sex change, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, according to ADF International. The parents also assert that their daughter’s mental and physical well-being is in danger while she continues to live in a government youth shelter.
The Swiss Federal Supreme Court&#8217;s decision means that the parents must facilitate their daughter&#8217;s sex change or face possible criminal charges, ADF International said.
“The situation complained of cannot therefore be remedied by interpretation,&#8221; the court said in its decision, according to the legal group. &#8220;Nor can it be concluded that there is a loophole per se that would have to be filled by the courts. It would therefore be up to the federal legislature, if necessary, to amend the system as it currently stands under the Act, from which the Federal Court cannot derogate, since it is not its role to interfere in matters that are the responsibility of the federal legislature. It follows that the complaint must be dismissed.”
The case has received worldwide attention on social media, particularly on &#8220;X,&#8221; where Elon Musk weighed in.
“This is insane,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://adfinternational.org/news/elon-musk-reaction-daughter-separated-switzerland">wrote</a>. &#8220;This suicidal mind virus is spreading throughout Western Civilization.&#8221;
“At every juncture, these loving parents have sought to act in the best interests of their daughter, as is their right and obligation under international law,&#8221; said Dr. Felix Böllmann, Director of European Advocacy for ADF International, in a statement to The Daily Wire.  “The court’s decision to dismiss their appeal is an intolerable violation of their rights. It has, in effect, mandated a legal ‘transition’ for the daughter against her parents’ wishes.&#8221;
“Not only is this an intervention without any evidential basis of psychological benefit, but it also could pave the way for potentially irreversible physical interventions down the line,&#8221; he added.

EXCLUSIVE: Swiss Supreme Court Says Parents Must Facilitate Daughter’s Gender Transition

Transgender

A father and mother are appealing to Switzerland&#8217;s highest court as they fight to protect their teenaged daughter from an attempted gender transition.
“Our hope lies now with the Swiss Federal Supreme Court,&#8221; the father, who asked to remain anonymous in order to protect his family&#8217;s privacy, told The Daily Wire on Wednesday. &#8220;We just want to protect our daughter, who’s been pushed down the dangerous path of ‘transitioning’ by activists in her school and a lobby organisation.&#8221;
&#8220;As a parent, you want to protect your children,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The state should not have the power to criminalize loving parents who want the best for their child.”
The Daily Wire is first reporting the appeal to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court (Schweizerisches Bundesgericht), filed with the support of ADF International on Monday evening.
The parents are appealing a July ruling from Geneva&#8217;s Court of Justice, which ordered them to turn over their daughter&#8217;s legal documents in order for the state to help her change what sex she is listed as in the civil registry, according to ADF International. In other words, the state wishes to help her change her sex in the civil registry from female to male.
The young girl first began expressing confusion with her gender when she was around 13 years old, according to her father. When her parents declined to put her on puberty blockers, they embarked on a years-long legal battle that resulted in the government removing her from their care.
They fear that the legal &#8220;sex change&#8221; may lead their daughter to also attempt a physical sex change, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, according to ADF International. The parents also assert that their daughter&#8217;s mental and physical well-being is in danger while she continues to live in the government youth shelter where she has been placed.
&#8220;Not only have these parents not had their concerns heard by the court, but they have also endured a severe violation of their rights as loving parents with the court transferring authority over their daughter’s medical care from them to the state, in addition to ordering that she reside in a government shelter,&#8221; said Dr. Felix Boellmann, lead lawyer on the case for ADF International.  &#8220;It is the responsibility of the Supreme Court to correct this grave injustice.&#8221; 
The parents argue in their Monday appeal that their daughter isn&#8217;t able to understand the implications of a legal &#8220;sex change,&#8221; arguing not only that a teenager cannot actually understand the implications of such a decision, but also that this legal change would then make her vulnerable to all manner of further gender transition procedures.
They also argue that no medical professionals or psychiatrists have conclusively assessed that their daughter has the ability to understand the consequences of these decisions, ADF International said, noting that this is a fundamental requirement under the law. 
The Swiss Federal Court may take up to six months to reach a decision on this matter.
The case has garnered high profile attention, particularly after Tesla CEO Elon Musk weighed in on the case on &#8220;X,&#8221; saying: &#8220;This suicidal mind virus is spreading throughout Western Civilization.&#8221;

“My daughter knows that I love her very deeply,” the father <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/08/15/exclusive-government-took-his-daughter-transition-her-this-father-is-fighting-back/">told The Daily Signal</a> in an August interview. “She knows that her mom loves her very deeply. She knows that her brother loves her very deeply. She knows that we miss her, and we want her home.
“And I believe,&#8221; he added, &#8220;that the only path to fulfilling her dreams, making the most of her future, is with her family.”
Boellmann, ADF International&#8217;s lead lawyer on the case, stressed that in order for children to be safeguarded from harmful agendas, governments must respect parents&#8217; rights.
&#8220;No child should be separated from their loving parents by the state,&#8221; he said in a statement. &#8220;It is imperative that the Court recognizes, clearly and decisively, that the parents are the primary decision makers when it comes to the best interest of the child.&#8221;
“Now the court needs to step in to defend the wellbeing of this child, and in so doing, all other children in Switzerland,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The Court must abide by Switzerland’s international human rights obligations to protect both the child and parental rights.”

Police in Zurich, Switzerland, have increased security at Jewish sites following an attempted murder that took place over the weekend.
A 15-year-old, who was not named, allegedly stabbed a 50-year-old Jewish man in the city on Saturday night.
Police said that while they had not reached any final conclusions about the attack, they believed that it was very likely an anti-Semitic hate crime.
The Swiss Organization of Jewish Communities said it was “deeply shocked that a community member fell victim to such an attack.”
“Physical attacks on Jewish people in Switzerland are very rare,” it said. “The Jewish community has been spared from such life-threatening attacks for the past two decades. However, there has been a significant increase in such physical attacks since Oct. 7.”

Al-Aqsa in this context would be a reference to the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist organization&#8217;s unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel, which they named Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is in full swing as liberal elites from all over the world travel to the wealthy and difficult-to-access Swiss mountain town of Davos to hobnob, enrich themselves, and conspire to control all of our lives. If that doesn&#8217;t sound cartoonishly villainous enough, the wealthy elites decided to kick things up a notch this year by inviting an actual witch to cast magic spells on the panelists.

The person in the headdress (who Elon Musk says looks like Elizabeth Warren) was saying some sort of prayer — obviously not a Christian prayer. One can only imagine which supposed deity she was invoking. In the midst of this prayer, she breathed on her hands, which certainly does not seem very cautious with regard to COVID. Then she continued on in her performance by coughing all over the panelists’ faces. These are the same people who led the charge of enforcing face masks, of telling us never to cough, and of implying it best just not to breathe. But there she stood, on stage, coughing directly on the panelists with a mixture of her presumably bacteria-ridden breath.

On the spiritual level, who knows what kind of spirits she was invoking. She styles herself as an indigenous shaman, which is just the PC term for witch. But this is nothing new. For all of human history, prideful elites have been inclined toward the ridiculous occult worship of false gods. The indigenous tribes all did it, the Canaanites did it, and even the Israelites did it when Moses left them to their own devices for five minutes in the desert. The counterparts to shamans and witches are priests and prophets. Both groups dress in funny clothing and perform rituals, but the difference is that while shamans cavort with demons, prophets proclaim the truth and, therefore, appear to predict the future. But, as a wise priest once observed, they only predict the future in the derivative sense of warning of the consequences of denying the truth.
We know the liberal elites of WEF have spread plenty of lies. Now they&#8217;re dancing around with actual witches. It doesn&#8217;t take an Old Testament prophet to know that the consequences are unlikely to be good.

There is some good news coming out of WEF, an insufferable group of big lib elites, crony corporate leaders, and, apparently, witches. They all conspire in this really ritzy mountain town to control the entire world and to subvert self-government, which is why it was so refreshing when the newly elected leader of Argentina, Javier Milei, showed up. His appearance worried a lot of people. They said, “Oh, he’s a populist libertarian, and now he is going to become a WEF guy.” But Milei didn&#8217;t stick to the usual Davos script.
<div id="attachment_683877" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-683877" class="size-full wp-image-683877" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/uiooiu.png" alt="Screenshot: World Economic Forum" width="512" height="285" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/uiooiu.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/01/uiooiu-300x167.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Screenshot: World Economic Forum</div>
Instead, Milei warned them that the Western world is in danger, saying, “It is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.” He continued, saying that the main leaders in the West have abandoned freedom for collectivism. Then, he explained “that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause.”
Now, I do not agree with Milei on everything. He is a libertarian, so he was speaking about material goods, how to alleviate poverty, how to enrich people, and freedom in a liberal, lowercase “l” sense, which he contrasts with collectivism. As I have said many times, I think radical individualism and radical collectivism are two sides of the same coin and both opposed to the common good, tradition, and conservatism. So I can’t give three cheers to Javier Milei, but I can give two because these people need to hear this.
The World Economic Forum people want to peddle socialism, they look to China as the model, some of them are outright communists, and now, they’re dancing around with witches. They are opposed to freedom, both the defective libertarian view of freedom and the true classical view of freedom. They’re opposed to both. So, it is amazing to see a world leader attend and give them a piece of his mind and at least point out all that they are getting wrong, even if Milei doesn’t have the exact right answer to combat it. This was great to see in an otherwise alternately bizarre and downright occult kind of World Economic Forum.

The Bizarre And Occult World Economic Forum Welcomes A Witch

Leftists

Liberals

Michael Knowles

Readers Pass

This week, amidst all of the domestic political hubbub here in the United States, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is happening over at Davos. Now, why exactly is the World Economic Forum important?
In 1971, there was an organization that was established by Klaus Schwab, who is a German engineer, economist, and professor with a James Bond villain accent. He created this organization so that heads of business in heads of state could discuss what he called “stakeholder capitalism.” Stakeholder capitalism was a theory he expressed that essentially suggested if you owned a company, you ought not answer to your shareholders; if you managed a company, you ought not answer to profit margin or shareholders.
Instead, you ought to answer to every stakeholder in the world — meaning governments. Meaning people who didn&#8217;t own stock in your company. Meaning everyone.
Now, you might ask yourself: Then to whom are you accountable? Because it turns out that the rando who doesn&#8217;t own shares in your company can actually fire you or sell your stock or change anything about the way you run your company.
The answer that Klaus Schwab would give is: You are answerable to no one. You, as the head of a company, should be like a king with his own little kingdom. You, as the head of a company, should be a lord, and the company should act as your fiefdom. And you can pretend that you&#8217;re acting in the name of the general will.
But what you truly are is some sort of prophet from on high brought to spread your values. And this was the basis of stakeholder capitalism.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1887-davos-vs-the-rest-of-us-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
This theory was promoted via what was called the European Management Symposium. That&#8217;s what the WEF was originally called in 1971. By 1975, it had grown so quickly that 860 participants, including the CEOs and chairman of the largest European companies, started showing up. That same year, only four years after creation, the European Management Forum, the EMF, was now partnering with the United Nations.
According to the WEF website itself, “After just five years, the Forum had gained acceptance at the highest levels of business and government. While not advocating policy or strategy, the Forum had become a respected organization that served as a valuable platform for business, government, civil society and other stakeholders to confer and collaborate. Klaus Schwab’s stakeholder theory was beginning to evolve into a broader concept of corporate global citizenship.” 
In 1987, the European Management Forum changed its name from the EMF to the WEF. 
So what is the WEF today? The same thing, except bigger, much more prominent. 10,000 people show up at the WEF every year, but the people who are on stage, the people who are meeting in the back rooms, are all of the global influential people.
They are the heads of major corporations and the heads of government, and they all come to pat each other on the back and explore what they have in common. What they have in common is a very peculiar set of values you do not share with them, a set of values that suggest they are responsible for solving all of the world&#8217;s problems.
They should collude and decide what system prevails everywhere. They should collude and decide what information you are capable of seeing and understanding problems like the climate. They will get together, and they will restructure entire swathes of the global economy in order to fight back against climate change. 
This is what they do. Let&#8217;s face it, this is a weird group of people because the people at the top levels of power, particularly in the West, are a strange group of people. They are disproportionately secular. They are disproportionately of the political Left. These are people who do not have ties to traditional ways of life in traditional values.
They are also people who seem to have scorn for the culture that actually bore them and, instead, have embraced this peculiar notion of multiculturalism in which all cultures are created equal. And that leads to this really sort of paternalistic and odd look at the WEF, where people are walking in wearing $5,000 suits and $20,000 watches, and then they are paying homage to poor Native Americans or natives of Europe or whoever is showing up.
Yesterday at the WEF, for example, there was a bizarre spectacle of a native woman of some sort with her face painted, appearing before various company owners, heads of state, and top level bureaucrats.
These Bane knockoffs, except in corporate garb, have come up with all sorts of interesting and weird ways to restructure the global system in order to run it and control you.
<h4><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></h4>
There&#8217;s language people in the West love to use when they&#8217;re talking about controlling you: the language of war. The War on Poverty is about controlling income. It is about controlling redistribution of wealth. The war on climate change is similarly about controlling exactly how you live your life. These people are eager to use war language, because in a war, you get to take control of literally everyone, day and night.
But — there was one wonderful moment during the WEF. Javier Milei, who&#8217;s become my spirit animal, the President of Argentina, who is colorful and a wonderful economist rock star, an all around Wolfman, was speaking at the WEF. And he just laid into them, and it was wonderful. He stated: 
<blockquote>Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution. The state is the problem itself. You are the true protagonists of this story. And rest assured that as from today, Argentina is your staunch, unconditional ally. … Long live freedom.
Today I&#8217;m here to tell you that the Western world is in danger. And it is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty. Unfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals willing to help others and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged caste, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism.</blockquote>
This is great stuff. Good for Javier Milei for going to the WEF and slapping people across the head.
It’s precisely what they deserve.

Newly inaugurated Argentinian President Javier Milei blasted Western leaders and warned of the dangers of “collectivism” during a Wednesday speech at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting. 
World leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, beginning on Monday, where they will hold speeches and panel discussions on issues ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) and climate policies to the ongoing wars between Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Hamas. On his way to Davos, Milei said he was attending the WEF conference to advocate for freedom, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/17/argentina-president-javier-milei-urges-davos-elite-to-reject-socialism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to CNBC. 
“Today, I’m here to tell you that the Western world is in danger,” Milei began his remarks at the WEF meeting. “And it is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.”
“Unfortunately in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals willing to help others and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged class, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism,” Milei added. “We’re here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause.”
The Argentinian libertarian president then said that there is no better than his country “to testify to these two points.”

Milei took center stage in Argentina last year, winning a shocking victory in November as he rode a wave of anti-establishment sentiment. He <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/javier-milei-argentina-president-inauguration-9574d812" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pledged</a> to gut federal government agencies and slash government spending by around 40%, warning against Argentina’s high inflation rate, which has blown up to more than 200%, and the socialist policies that put the country in a dire economic position.   
After taking office, the Argentinian president <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/17/economy/milei-argentina-speech-world-economic-forum/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">devalued</a> his country’s currency and is pushing to abolish Argentina’s central bank and privatize its pension system. 
At the conclusion of his speech, Milei added, “Do not surrender to the advance of the state! The state is not the solution; the state is the problem itself.” 
“Long live freedom, dammit!” he said.

In the latest episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/facts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facts</a>,” Daily Wire Editor Emeritus <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> explains the history behind the World Economic Forum and what Americans need to know about its power-hungry agenda. 
In the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/tbdeee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a>, released on Saturday ahead of the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, next week, Shapiro explained the history of the organization and how it evolved into the entity it is today. He said that the organization had little respect for representative democracy or liberty, but wanted to impose top-down control. 
“The World Economic Forum was first established in 1971, led by a German engineer, economist, and professor with a master&#8217;s from Harvard. His name was Klaus Schwab. Schwab was the originator of a theory of governance and markets he called stakeholder capitalism, defined in opposition to shareholder capitalism,” Shapiro said. 
Shareholder capitalism is when businesses primarily focus on returns to investors while stakeholder capitalism suggests that businesses should answer to the world at large. 
“This philosophy, of course, means that those who control corporations ought to act as philosopher kings, answerable to no one but their own perceptions of moral duty. Unsurprisingly, this particular argument is attractive to those who love the idea of top down command and control,” Shapiro said. 
In recent years, the WEF has pushed for a “Great Reset” of capitalism to transform industry in pursuit of the so-called fourth industrial revolution. This includes pushing the concepts of “social sustainability” and “environmental sustainability” onto global corporations. It’s a call to revolutionize the world and how it currently works, Shapiro explained.  
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1883-america-bombs-the-houthis-f-around-find-out-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
“Almost certainly the new revolution will look like top down social engineering by the big brain, all in the name of smoothing out the bumps of technological change. Regulators will work hand-in-glove with big business to work out the rules for your life,” Shapiro explained.
He also said that pushing this global agenda of elite control conflicted with traditional Western concepts like liberty and representative democracy, which were disliked by the WEF.  
“If all of this sounds frightening, that&#8217;s because it is. The arrogance of the business and governmental elite seeking to control all of us is absolutely breathtaking. The policies discussed at Davos shape the elite caste in nearly all Western countries. When you hear about the end of carbon-based fossil fuels or a global tax regime or corporate governmental cooperation, a lot of that is coming from Davos and the World Economic Forum,” Shapiro concluded. “And when those globalists get together at Davos, understand the ideas they are discussing will have a real world effect on you, your business, your church, and your family.”

Legendary screen star Sophia Loren underwent emergency surgery on Sunday after a bad fall at her home in Switzerland and remains hospitalized.
A source confirmed to the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/sophia-loren-hospitalized-injuries-fall-at-home-1235597900/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hollywood Reporter</a> that the 89-year-old Italian star is recovering after having hip surgery. Loren sustained several fractures after falling in her bathroom, including one to her femur.
The source told the outlet that the family remains cautiously optimistic during her recovery. Her sons, Carlo and Edoardo, stay by her side at the hospital, the source added.
Loren&#8217;s agent, Andrea Giusti, told the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sophia-loren-surgery-italy-geneva-5baa65382685fe6cf9a153d071ea97ce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a> that the actress fell on Sunday, and the surgery was performed later that day. The operation &#8220;went very well and now we only need to wait,&#8221; Giusti added.
The hospitalization comes days after the Hollywood legend celebrated her 89th birthday on September 20.
Loren was last publicly spotted on September 2 when she attended Italian designer Giorgio Armani&#8217;s fashion show held during the 80th Venice Film Festival, the AP noted.

In 2020, Loren made headlines when news surfaced she would appear in son, USC graduate Edoardo Ponti&#8217;s film for Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;The Life Ahead.&#8221; It was the actress&#8217; first time back on the big screen in almost a decade, at the time, <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/awards/industry/sophia-loren-war-the-life-ahead-1234595168/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IndieWire</a> noted. The role landed her a David di Donatello Award for best actress.
In 1962, Loren won her first Oscar for her role in Vittorio De Sica&#8217;s neorealist wartime drama &#8220;Two Women.&#8221; She was again nominated in 1965 for her part in &#8220;Marriage Italian Style&#8221; alongside actor Marcello Mastroianni. The actress took home an Honorary Oscar in 1991 for her long career.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/switzerland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Swiss</a> cyclist Gino Mäder, 26, died in a hospital Friday after a high-speed crash on a steep descent during the Tour de Suisse the day before.
The 26-year-old cyclist and American cyclist Magnus Sheffield crashed as they were traveling around 60 mph, <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/16/cyclist-gino-mader-26-dies-after-crashing-at-tour-de-suisse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the New York Post. The team said that Mäder was resuscitated by medical staff using CPR at the scene of the accident before he was airlifted to the hospital where he later died.
“Our entire team is devastated by this tragic accident, and our thoughts and prayers are with Gino’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,” Mäder’s team Bahrain Victorious said in a <a href="https://bahraincyclingteam.com/statement-regarding-gino-mader/">statement</a>, adding, “Despite the best efforts of the phenomenal staff at Chur hospital, Gino couldn’t make it through this, his final and biggest challenge, and at 11:30am we said goodbye to one of the shining lights of our team.&#8221;
https://twitter.com/rrkpierre/status/1669689187560300546?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1669689187560300546%7Ctwgr%5E2cd021a0273e79ec92e7d24374fd67ec4880163f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnypost.com%2F2023%2F06%2F16%2Fcyclist-gino-mader-26-dies-after-crashing-at-tour-de-suisse%2F
Cyclists learned of Mäder’s death 30 minutes before the start of the sixth stage on day eight of the Tour de Suisse, <a href="https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/37862864/cyclist-gino-mader-26-dies-following-crash-ravine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to ESPN. After the tragic announcement, riders gathered in silence for Mäder, and Friday’s scheduled route was ridden by cyclists together in tribute to Mäder. The race will resume Saturday.
&#8220;Devastated by the news,&#8221; said world champion cyclist Remco Evenepoel. &#8220;My heart and strength is with Gino&#8217;s family, friends, teammates.&#8221;
Evenepoel criticized the “decision” to have the riders finish the stage riding down the steep mountainous road where Mäder crashed.
&#8220;While a summit finish would have been perfectly possible, it wasn&#8217;t a good decision to let us finish down this dangerous descent,” Evenepoel said. “As riders, we should also think about the risks we take going down a mountain.&#8221;
Sheffield was also taken to the hospital after the crash and treated for a concussion and bruising.

Mäder was a talented young cyclist who started his career as a track cyclist before switching to road cycling in 2019. In 2021, he won a stage of the Giro d&#8217;Italia and took home the young rider classification, one of the primary awards handed out at a cycling stage race, at the Vuelta a España.
“Gino was an extraordinary athlete, an example of determination, a valued member of our team and the whole cycling community,” his team said. “His talent, dedication, and passion for the sport has inspired us all.”

<a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/switzerland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Swiss</a> investment bank Credit Suisse has helped American families hide at least $700 million from <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/taxes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tax</a> authorities over the past nine years in violation of a <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plea</a> agreement with regulators, Senate investigators said Wednesday.
Credit Suisse, which was acquired earlier this month by rival Swiss financial institution UBS with the assistance of the nation’s central bank, pleaded guilty in 2014 to helping thousands of wealthy Americans evade their taxes. Staff members of the Senate Finance Committee announced the conclusion of a two-year investigation into Credit Suisse on Wednesday, which found that the firm has since allegedly concealed more than $700 million on behalf of two dozen American households in violation of the plea agreement.
“Credit Suisse got a discount on the penalty it faced in 2014 for enabling tax evasion because bank executives swore up and down they’d get out of the business of defrauding the United States. This investigation shows Credit Suisse did not make good on that promise, and the bank’s pending acquisition does not wipe the slate clean,” Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) said in a <a href="https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/wyden-investigation-finds-credit-suisse-complicit-in-ongoing-tax-evasion-by-ultra-wealthy-americans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “In addition to a significant penalty for the bank, the individual bankers involved in these schemes must also face criminal investigation.”
Executives from Credit Suisse allegedly helped a family composed of Latin American and U.S. nationals transfer nearly $100 million to financial institutions in Switzerland and other countries without notifying the Justice Department. The alleged scheme may produce the largest penalties in history related to Foreign Bank Account Report mandates, which are provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act that <a href="https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/report-of-foreign-bank-and-financial-accounts-fbar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">require</a> American citizens and residents to disclose large balances in financial accounts outside of the U.S.
Former senior officials at Credit Suisse, including Alexander Siegenthaler, the former head of the company’s private banking division in Latin America, were allegedly directly involved in managing the family’s account. Credit Suisse employees also knowingly helped Dan Horsky, a former business school professor who <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-university-business-professor-sentenced-prison-hiding-over-220-million-offshore-banks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amassed</a> a $220 million fortune in overseas accounts and was sentenced to seven months in prison.
Two former bankers with Credit Suisse who are presently aiding the Justice Department as whistleblowers detailed the company’s culture in exclusive <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/29/credit-suisse-whistleblowers-say-bank-has-been-helping-americans-dodge-us-taxes.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interviews</a> with CNBC.
“You’re under tremendous pressure to bring in these net new assets, which ultimately translate into revenue,” one whistleblower said. “And that’s the reason for the fraud. You don’t want to lose assets. So, what you do is you try to maintain them in any way, shape, or form.”
The whistleblower contended that the Swiss financial sector survives on the basis of secrecy for their clients. “Swiss banks are much more expensive, and there’s a reason for that,” he continued. “If you could choose anywhere in the world you want to be, why would you pay more? Why would you be in a place which underperforms in terms of your return on assets?”

Credit Suisse, formerly the eighth largest investment bank in the world, had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/banking-crisis-widens-as-credit-suisse-shares-plunge-on-alarming-annual-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> several “material weaknesses” with respect to risk assessment strategy in a recent annual report.

The deal will <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/swiss-rescue-of-major-bank-creates-five-figure-tax-liability-for-each-citizen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">create</a> tax liabilities of $13,500 for each of the 8.7 million men, women, and children in Switzerland, equivalent to $29,700 per household or 20% of a typical citizen’s annual income.

Citizens of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/switzerland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Switzerland</a> backed the losses incurred by the merger of the nation’s two largest investment <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/banks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banks</a>, effectively costing each citizen roughly $13,500 in <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/taxes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tax</a> liabilities.
Swiss investment bank UBS agreed over the weekend to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/switzerlands-two-largest-banks-to-combine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">purchase</a> rival financial institution Credit Suisse in a $3 billion deal. The Swiss National Bank offered the two firms a “public liquidity backstop” worth $108 billion as well as nearly $10 billion in government guarantees of potential excess losses.
The deal will create tax liabilities of $13,500 for each of the 8.7 million men, women, and children in the small central European nation. The liability is equivalent to $29,700 per household and constitutes 20% of a typical Swiss citizen’s annual income.
“We are fed up with the idea that if you are big enough, you get everything,” Christoph Rechsteiner, a partner at Swiss tax consultancy MME, said in an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-21/swiss-brace-for-credit-suisse-bailout-costing-them-13-500-each" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with Bloomberg, which added that 200 people assembled on Monday outside of the Credit Suisse headquarters in Zurich and threw eggs at the building. “The law is changed for you over a weekend.”
Credit Suisse, formerly the eighth largest investment bank in the world, had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/banking-crisis-widens-as-credit-suisse-shares-plunge-on-alarming-annual-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> several “material weaknesses” with respect to risk assessment strategy in a recent annual report. The document said that performance last year was “significantly affected by the challenging macro and geopolitical environment with market uncertainty and client risk aversion,” prompting an “adverse impact on client activity across all our divisions.” Customers of Credit Suisse withdrew $119 billion in the fourth quarter of last year amid risk and compliance failures.
Credit Suisse is one of 30 worldwide banks <a href="https://www.fsb.org/2022/11/2022-list-of-global-systemically-important-banks-g-sibs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considered</a> by the Financial Stability Board as “systemically important,” meaning that the failure of Credit Suisse could have induced an international financial crisis. The companies listed as systemically important are colloquially called “too big to fail.” The Swiss National Bank had additionally <a href="https://www.finma.ch/en/enforcement/recovery-and-resolution/too-big-to-fail-and-financial-stability/systemically-important-banks/#:~:text=The%20Swiss%20National%20Bank%20has,PostFinance%20as%20systemically%20important%20banks." target="_blank" rel="noopener">designated</a> UBS and three other financial institutions as systemically important banks.
“The solution that has been drafted now is that if all comes good, UBS makes a huge profit,” Rechsteiner added in the Bloomberg interview. “They got Credit Suisse for nothing at all and the government is backing the losses.”
The implosion of Credit Suisse, which had been struggling for several years, occurred after Silicon Valley Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in the United States, collapsed as depositors <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/regulators-shut-down-major-tech-bank-after-run-on-savings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rushed</a> to withdraw their funds and the company suffered heavy losses from the sale of a long-term bond portfolio. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation now directs holdings maintained by Silicon Valley Bank, which California state regulators closed on March 10, as well as Signature Bank in New York, which was closed on March 12.

Financial authorities <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/substantial-interest-for-collapsed-silicon-valley-bank-as-feds-auction-off-whats-left" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that “there has been substantial interest from multiple parties” from banks seeking to acquire all or part of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, the entity established by officials to manage the company’s remaining operations.
The vast majority of deposits at Silicon Valley Bank, which offered services to nearly half of the venture-backed technology and healthcare firms in the United States, exceeded the $250,000 threshold insured by the FDIC. Authorities rushed to guarantee all deposits at Silicon Valley Bank such that the rest of the financial system, in which roughly half of deposits surpass $250,000, would remain protected from bank runs.
