UBS clients in US are not "harmless victims"

The chairman of Swiss bank UBS, Kaspar Villiger, says clients who face their account details being handed to United States tax authorities are not "harmless victims".

In an interview with the SonntagsBlick newspaper, Villiger also commented that legal cases against former UBS bankers did not affect the bank.

"The clients are not just harmless victims. They knew what they wanted to evade. But they trusted the bank that it would work. Now we have to correct that."

Switzerland last week agreed to disclose to Washington the details of 4,450 accounts belonging to rich US clients suspected of hiding from US tax authorities. More...

  1. USA lost her right to sue
    any American Citizen involved in UBS bank

    THE SWISS DEVIL, THE SEDUCER

    SWISS BANKS SEDUCE THE CITIZENS TO
    COMMIT CRIMES AGAINST THEIR COUNTRIES

    Not excusing the American citizens for following the whispers of the Swiss devil, but to give every one his rights, if U.S. chooses to drop the Criminal Charges against the seducer, “the Swiss devil,” so you cannot file any case against any citizen, you cannot leave the head of the snake, the UBS Bank, and catch the tail, the American citizens.

    It is known fact that the Police press on the members of the gang to catch the big head, to destroy the gang , but in our case USA choose to release the big head, which consider non forgiveness mistake .

    With regards,

    Sincerely,
