DOJ Intensifies Probe Into Credit Suisse, UBS Group Over Alleged Russian Sanctions Evasion
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is heightening its investigation into $UBS Group (UBS.US)$ and Credit Suisse Group for alleged failures in compliance, which may have allowed Russian clients to circumvent sanctions.
美國司法部（DOJ）正在加緊調查 $瑞銀 (UBS.US)$以及瑞士信貸集團涉嫌違規行爲，這可能使俄羅斯客戶得以規避制裁。
The DOJ's inquiry has transformed from a series of subpoenas earlier in the year to a full-fledged investigation, with a primary focus on Credit Suisse Group, as per sources cited by Bloomberg. The department is also reportedly investigating potential compliance issues with UBS.
彭博社援引的消息人士稱，司法部的調查已從今年早些時候的一系列傳票轉變爲一項全面的調查，主要重點是瑞士信貸集團。據報道，該部門還在調查瑞銀的潛在合規問題。
UBS, which assumed control of Credit Suisse in June, has received notification regarding the alleged involvement of its recently acquired subsidiary in sanctions violations.
6月份接管瑞士信貸控制權的瑞銀已收到有關其最近收購的子公司涉嫌參與違反制裁的通知。
Bloomberg stated that this investigation encompasses the sanctions imposed following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022 and previous sanctions related its annexation of Crimea in 2014.
彭博社表示，這項調查包括2022年俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭後實施的制裁以及先前與2014年吞併克里米亞有關的制裁。
The DOJ is leveraging UBS's takeover of Credit Suisse as a chance to expedite its investigation. The department has directly solicited information from UBS, circumventing the typically slower diplomatic routes.
司法部正在利用瑞銀對瑞士信貸的收購作爲加快調查的機會。該部門繞過了通常較慢的外交路線，直接向瑞銀徵求信息。
