Around three dozen bankers and senior managers will be implicated, and according to the terms of the deal, the Swiss bank’s Japanese subsidiary will plead guilty to a US criminal offence, the paper said. If the Financial Times report is correct, the Swiss bank would be hit with one of the biggest fines ever imposed on a financial institution.”
