Reported Earlier, 'UBS Near Settlement In Credit Suisse $1.5B Tuna Bond Case' - BNN Bloomberg
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Newsdesk
UBS Group AG is nearing a settlement with the Mozambique government over Credit Suisse's role in a ship-financing scandal. The case is part of the legal troubles UBS inherited from its rescue of Credit Suisse. The settlement would avoid a 13-week long London trial. The case alleges that Credit Suisse ignored red flags and corruption in deals intended to fund a new coastal patrol force and tuna fishing fleet in Mozambique. The trial will still proceed with Privinvest, the shipbuilder, as a defendant.
