In the trial on the laundering of Bulgarian funds, the Federal Criminal Court has started interrogations. After the main defendant, he heard a representative of UBS. He refused to comment essentially.
Understood as “person called to provide information”, this lawyer repeated the statement made at the opening of the trial, namely that UBS does not agree with the transfer of responsibilities from Credit Suisse. “UBS has nothing to do with this affair,” he insisted.
Under these conditions, the lawyer indicated that he was not in a position to testify on this matter. “It dates from at least 17 years ago and concerns another bank and other management bodies.” The lawyer clarified that he had never worked for Credit Suisse and that he did not know the two defendants.
