O Caso UBS: Acto Final

Numa notícia desta semana do The Economist consta o seguinte:

"UBS agreed to provide American authorities with the names of some 250 clients who used the Swiss bank to shield their money from America’s tax regime. This forms part of a settlement in a criminal investigation alleging that UBS enticed the super-wealthy to open accounts protected by Switzerland’s secrecy rules; it is the first time that Swiss regulators have allowed a bank to disclose the identity of account-holders. UBS will also pay $780m to end the criminal case."

Parece então que o caso UBS aproxima-se do fim, demorando a sua resolução menos de um ano, se tivermos em conta a data das primeiras notícias que surgiram (em Julho de 2008 - aqui).
