Investigation: UBS, at the origins of a historic financial scandal<

The "big potato hunt" table

At the beginning of these 2000s, Olivier Forgues was a happy man.Admittedly, his sharp shoes make him suffer.He finds that he looks like a clown with his trader suspenders, but finally, did he not find a position in the establishment of his dreams?"If I had been asked to wear UBS briefs, I would have done it," he smiles, chaining cigarettes, all of jeans dressed.As a teenager, he loved the scholarship and placed orders from the high school telephone booth.At UBS, he is responsible for the "*Core tributary*", a tailor -made service for the fortunes of 250,000 euros to 5 million.There are more and more in this internet boiling period and the bank wants to make it "a growth lever".Internally, we say more simply: "chasing big potatoes".

Forgues is denied during a training seminar in Lausanne. During the day, we participate in lenifying role -playing games. In the evening, we tell ourselves the real life around a good restaurant at the restaurant. According to him, this is where a local project manager explained to him to obtain his bonus for sure: if one of his customers in Paris already has an account in Switzerland, by Example at Pictet or Lombard Odier, just convince him to choose UBS. Half of the sum recovered will be listed in its own objectives, the other in the correspondent. Well, obviously, if the person has never declared this account at taxes, the operation can be laundering tax fraud, but we are not there yet. For accounting, the house has everything planned: “Each transaction is inscribed in milk notebooks. »What? Documents held by the commercial management, first on school notebooks and then on a computer file, in order to keep a trace of these deals between salespeople and thus calculate the premiums.
