 "For two decades, UBS built a shadow infrastructure of tax evasion, money laundering, and systemic fraud—branch by branch, client by client, country by country."
In this 2026 documentary, we expose the full history of scandals that earned UBS the title "The Bank of Dirty Money." We begin with the French tax evasion scandal: UBS bankers secretly dispatched to France to recruit wealthy clients, moving money across borders to avoid taxation. After a decade-long legal battle, UBS agreed to pay €835 million ($985 million) in 2025—less than a fifth of the original €4.5 billion penalty [citation:2].
We then track the Mozambique "tuna bond" scandal: over $2 billion in loans granted by Credit Suisse (now merged into UBS) to state-owned companies, with much of the money misused for bribes. In November 2025, Swiss prosecutors indicted UBS for money laundering, alleging a compliance officer ignored red flags and failed to report suspicious transactions [citation:1][citation:6].
We also cover the rogue trader saga: Kweku Adoboli, a UBS investment banker in London, concealed $2.3 billion in trading losses through unauthorized speculation, leading to his fraud conviction and seven-year prison sentence in 2012 [citation:3]. The documentary follows Adoboli's perspective, revealing the "megalomania of the investment banking world" and systemic failures at UBS [citation:3].
But the scandals don't stop. In May 2026, Monaco's financial watchdog fined UBS €6 million for "numerous serious breaches" in anti-money laundering controls, including failing to verify the identity of politically exposed persons and "more than half" of its client base classified as medium to very high risk [citation:4]. In Hong Kong, regulators fined UBS 4 billion HKD ($400 million) for a decade-long scheme of overcharging clients on bond and structured note trades—systematically pocketing price differences without disclosure [citation:10].
From the 2008 financial crisis to the forced takeover of Credit Suisse in 2023 to the present, this documentary traces how Switzerland's largest bank became synonymous with regulatory evasion. Featuring investigative journalists, whistleblowers, former compliance officers, and the victims of UBS's unchecked ambition. Press play for the definitive story of the bank that washed the world's dirtiest money.
