Notable cases
UBS Bank secrecy case
| United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida *United States, v. UBS AG; Case unavailable, this link will lead to eventual settlement agreement between UBS, and U.S. IRS 09-cv-20423 |
|---|
| On July 13, 2009, Judge Gold conducted a hearing whether to enforce a civil summons from the IRS seeking customer information on UBS customers.[2]
The Justice Department said it will insist on information on a large number of UBS customers in any settlement between the American and Swiss governments over a high-stakes, bank-secrecy dispute in which UBS allowed customers to set-up off-shore accounts to dodge taxes.[2] On July 31, 2009, Judge Gold announced a settlement between the United States and Switzerland governments and UBS. The settlement includes that UBS must disclose 52,000 names of individuals that have bank accounts offshore. This will allow for the US Government to start tax evasion investigations on those who try to avoid paying US taxes.[3] |
