Ex-UBS Banker Charged in Tax-Shelter Case

NEW YORK—A former UBS AG banker has been charged with helping American taxpayers hide more than $215 million from U.S. authorities in secret Swiss bank accounts, prosecutors said Thursday.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have alleged that Gian Gisler, a former client adviser at UBS, allegedly helped U.S. taxpayers and others hide money in their Swiss accounts from the mid-1990s to at least 2010. He allegedly helped more than 38 U.S. taxpayers manage more than 60 hidden accounts, prosecutors said.

Mr. Gisler, 45 years old, left UBS in 2008 when it became public that the Swiss bank was the subject of a probe by U.S. tax authorities. He allegedly continued with the conduct at two other Swiss asset-management firms, prosecutors said.

As part of the case, Mr. Gisler, together with his U.S. clients, allegedly used sham entities to hide the bank account and the income they generated from the Internal Revenue Service, prosecutors said.

Mr. Gisler, who resides in Zurich, is the second former UBS banker to be charged criminally by U.S. authorities this week. He has been charged with one count of conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison.

Mr. Gisler remains in Switzerland and it is unclear if he will come to the U.S. to face charges. A lawyer for Mr. Gisler couldn't immediately be located Thursday.

The U.S. has been aggressively cracking down on taxpayer funds hidden overseas.

In 2009, UBS admitted to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government of billions of dollars in taxes by helping wealthy Americans hide taxes. As part of an agreement to avoid criminal charges, the Swiss bank turned over the names of 4,000 U.S. account holders and paid a $780 million fine.
