The public prosecutor has requested a maximum fine of 225,000 euros against UBS's French subsidiary for harassing two whistleblowers who exposed its tax evasion practices. The defense called for acquittal, citing the bank's financial struggles during the 2008 crisis as context. The Paris Criminal Court will announce its decision on March 10, 2025.
UBS Group AG faced allegations of harassment against former whistleblowers during a trial in Paris, with a representative expressing shock at witnesses likening the bank to a mafia. Régis Turrini, chairman of UBS France, denied any wrongdoing and emphasized the focus on harassment claims, distancing the case from a separate money laundering conviction. The trial is set to continue, with a ruling expected in several months.
