Abstract

The article discusses efforts by the U.S. Justice Department to obtain from Swiss bank UBS AG information about U.S. citizens who are suspected of using the bank to evade taxes. Justice has sought a federal court order in the matter, even though Swiss laws prevent the disclosure of such information without customer approval.
