US authorities keep up pressure on Swiss banks...

Another Swiss banker has been arrested in the United States allegedly in connection with investigations into possible tax evasion practices.

The foreign ministry on Sunday confirmed newspaper reports that a Swiss citizen had been detained by the US authorities, but declined to give further details.

A syndicated article in two Swiss Sunday newspapers says the man is employed by the British private bank Coutts in Geneva and used to work for Switzerland’s leading UBS bank until 2009.

He is believed to have advised clients with dual US-Russian citizenship.

The 55-year old Swiss citizen was apparently arrested upon arrival in New York and brought to Florida. Full story...
