Swiss banking giant agrees to pay $780 million and hand over account information after helping U.S. clients evade the IRS.
Switzerland's largest bank, UBS, has admitted helping U.S. taxpayers hide money from the IRS, and has agreed to pay $780 million in fines and restitution, and to turn over account information.
The deferred prosecution agreement was approved Wednesday by a federal court judge in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
"UBS admitted to conspiring to defraud the United States by impeding the IRS," the Justice Department announced late Wednesday.
The statement says that UBS, "in an unprecedented move" based on an order by Swiss authorities, has agreed "to immediately provide the U.S. government with the identities of, and account information for, certain U.S. customers of UBS's cross-border business."
