America's clampdown on tax evasion

“WE HAVE A VERDICT!!” was the emphatic message scribbled in large capital letters on a piece of paper and handed to a federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, little more than an hour after the jury had started its deliberations. Minutes later Raoul Weil, the former number three at UBS, a giant Swiss bank, was acquitted of conspiracy in relation to revelations that the bank had helped American tax evaders to move undeclared income offshore. Mr Weil, who had been indicted in 2008 and arrested at an Italian hotel last year, clenched his fists when the verdict was announced.

The acquittal is a setback for America’s Department of Justice, which has led an international crusade against offshore tax-dodging. In particular, it has been particularly keen to bring more individuals to account, having successfully forced numerous banks to settle such charges (UBS, for example), plead guilty to them (Credit Suisse), or to close down completely (Wegelin). As the former head of global wealth management at UBS, Mr Weil was the most senior of the three dozen bankers, lawyers and advisers charged to date.
