United States authorities have arrested and charged an accountant in Florida on suspicion of evading taxes through an account held at Swiss bank UBS.
Florida officials said on Thursday that it was the first of what could be a series of tax evasion prosecutions of American clients of UBS.
The man charged worked for a company in the yacht-building business. He was accused of filing at least one false tax return that failed to disclose he had an account with UBS or made any money from it, the US Justice Department said.
