The Luxembourg-based General Court has upheld the EU's cartel decision against UBS, UniCredit, and Nomura, largely confirming the European Commission's ruling. However, it has moderately reduced the fines imposed on UniCredit and Nomura.
Elon Musk's SpaceX reportedly allows Chinese investors to acquire stakes in the company through offshore entities like the Cayman Islands, raising concerns about transparency and national security. Testimonies reveal that while SpaceX prefers to avoid direct Chinese investments, it finds indirect routes acceptable, potentially obscuring foreign ownership. Experts warn that this practice could indicate deeper ties to China than publicly acknowledged, complicating SpaceX's status as a defense contractor reliant on U.S. government contracts.
Switzerland's finance regulator, Finma, under CEO Walter, is taking a tough stance on banking oversight, particularly targeting UBS with potential capital requirements of up to $25 billion. Walter's assertive approach marks a shift from the previous leniency, aiming to restore confidence in Swiss finance post-Credit Suisse's collapse. His push for stricter regulations and transparency reflects a growing public demand for accountability in the financial sector.
More than a decade after being labeled rogue employees, a dozen former Credit Suisse managers remain indicted in the U.S. for their roles in facilitating tax evasion. Despite the bank's $2.6 billion fine in 2014, these individuals face ongoing legal repercussions, with their careers effectively ruined and the threat of arrest looming if they enter the U.S. Following the settlement, those still employed at Credit Suisse received termination notices, marking a devastating end to their professional lives.
Santander UK successfully dismissed a lawsuit claiming banks have a duty to recover funds lost in authorized push payment (APP) fraud. The High Court ruled that banks are not obligated to take action to reverse harm caused to third parties, citing the potential burden on financial institutions. This decision follows a similar case against Barclays, where the Supreme Court acknowledged a possible duty but ultimately limited the scope of such claims.
Tom Hayes, the former UBS trader at the center of the Libor rigging scandal, is appealing to the UK’s Supreme Court to overturn his conviction, arguing that banks should be allowed to consider their trading advantages in rate submissions. His case could impact other convictions and challenge the Serious Fraud Office's prosecutorial strategies. Hayes, sentenced to 11 years in 2015, has maintained his innocence since his release in 2021.
Tom Hayes, the former UBS trader at the center of the Libor rigging scandal, is appealing to the UK Supreme Court to overturn his 2015 conviction. His legal team argues that it was permissible for banks to consider their trading advantages when submitting Libor rates, claiming that the jury was misled about this aspect. A ruling in Hayes' favor could challenge multiple convictions related to rate manipulation and raise questions about the Serious Fraud Office's prosecutorial strategies.
Markus Rohrbasser, the former head of UBS North America, has been ordered to pay over $4.9 million to the IRS for failing to report his Swiss bank accounts from 2003 to 2013. A US District Court in Connecticut imposed penalties and interest after he concealed these accounts during his tenure at UBS and later at Zurich Insurance Group, where he was involved in significant acquisitions. Rohrbasser, who led UBS's investment banking expansion in the 1990s, is currently active on several boards of directors.
The Central Bank of the UAE has imposed fines on five banks and two insurers for failing to meet compliance standards, particularly regarding due diligence and financial reporting accuracy. This action follows the bank's provision of ample time for these institutions to rectify their shortcomings.
