MIAMI AP – U.S. prosecutors on Friday dismissed the criminal tax evasion case against Swiss bank UBS AG, effectively taking the bank off probation after it paid a huge fine and agreed to turn over names of thousands of suspected tax cheats.
“Given that UBS AG has fully complied with all of its obligations … the United States believes that dismissal is appropriate under the circumstances,” said the U.S. document filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Neiman and other prosecutors.
