DOJ Releases Details of UBS and Credit Suisse Investigations

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has released details of its investigations into UBS and Credit Suisse. The probes are significant because they involve some of the world’s largest banks, and could have a significant impact on the global economy.

UBS is one of the world’s largest banks, with assets totaling $2.3 trillion. Credit Suisse is also a major player in the financial sector, with assets totaling $2.9 trillion. Together, these two banks are responsible for about a third of all global banking transactions.

The DOJ announced that it had reached settlements with both banks. UBS agreed to pay $780 million in fines and penalties, while Credit Suisse agreed to pay $541 million. These amounts represent only a fraction of the bank’s total liabilities. However, they will undoubtedly have a significant impact on these companies’ finances and their ability to continue conducting business as usual.

The investigations into UBS and Credit Suisse are just one part of the DOJ’s efforts to crack down on financial misconduct. In recent years, the DOJ has successfully prosecuted several high-profile bankers and executives for criminal activity related to their roles in the financial crisis. This crackdown has sent a message to financiers that misconduct will not be tolerated, and has helped restore faith in the banking system worldwide.

What DOJ is Seeking from UBS and Credit Suisse

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Tuesday that it is investigating two leading Swiss banks, UBS and Credit Suisse, for their roles in facilitating “abusive” offshore banking practices.

According to DOJ officials, the banks are suspected of helping wealthy individuals and corporations conceal billions of dollars in assets around the world. The investigation is part of a larger crackdown on tax evasion by wealthy individuals and corporations.

The DOJ is requesting information from both banks regarding their dealings with customers who may have engaged in tax evasion. Officials said that the banks will have seven days to produce the requested documents.

If the banks do not comply, DOJ officials said they could face criminal charges. UBS has already been fined $2 billion for its role in facilitating abuses by other banks, so any further penalties from DOJ could prove costly for the bank.

This investigation follows similar probes into HSBC and Bank of America Corp., both of which were fined billions of dollars for their involvement in similar activities. The government hopes that punishing these financial institutions will send a message to others that tax evasion is not tolerated.

What DOJ Said About the Impact of the Investigations on JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Bank of America

On May 9, 2017, the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a public statement announcing that it had concluded its investigations into JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Bank of America. The DOJ’s release included the following:

The settlements announced today reflect the seriousness of the conduct at issue and will prevent these firms from engaging in future unlawful behavior. These cases should serve as a warning to others that pursuing illegal actions will lead to serious consequences.

The DOJ’s investigations have had an impact on these banks’ businesses and stock prices. For example, JPMorgan Chase’s stock price declined by approximately 7 percent after news of the investigation into its London Whale trading losses surfaced in early 2013. Likewise, Citigroup’s stock price declined by approximately 5 percent after the UBS whistleblower allegations surfaced in late 2011. Finally, Bank of America’s stock price declined by approximately 2 percent after news of Citigroup’s $245 million fine for deceptive marketing practices emerged in late 2012.

What You Should Do If You Are Affected by the Investigations

If you are affected by the investigations into UBS and Credit Suisse, there are several things you should do. First, consult with a lawyer to discuss your legal options. Second, be sure to keep all your financial documents – including copies of all your account statements – in a safe place. And finally, make sure you understand the terms of any settlement or court ruling that may come down in the near future.

Conclusion

As we reported yesterday, the Department of Justice has announced that it is investigating UBS and Credit Suisse for their role in setting up offshore accounts for wealthy Americans. The investigation is moving quickly and could result in criminal charges against the banks. This news will have a significant impact on both the stock prices of these banks and the global economy as a whole. If you are concerned about how this news will affect your financial stability or that of your investments, be sure to consult with an attorney or financial advisor to get a full picture of what you are facing. In the meantime, here are four key points to keep in mind: 1) The DOJ is not saying which individuals may have used these offshore accounts; it simply alleges wrongdoing by the banks. 2) There is still much we do not know about this case; for example, exactly which countries were involved, what kind of transactions took place, or who was responsible at UBS and Credit Suisse specifically. 3) The DOJ’s investigation could lead to fines against UBS and Credit Suisse (and possibly other banks) but there is no guarantee that any criminal charges will be filed. 4) Even if no criminal charges are filed, these investigations could severely damage the reputations of these two banks and cost them billions of dollars in lost business.
