South Florida Offshore Banking Defense Attorney
Offshore bank accounts are used by many people from the United States to make investments overseas and to reap other benefits from keeping money and other assets outside of the United States. Unfortunately, when mistakes are made or these accounts are not divulged in personal tax returns, it can lead to serious criminal charges for the owners of those accounts. Tax fraud charges that are related to offshore banking carry serious penalties, including prison time, fines and restitution.

UBS and Offshore Banking
In 2009, the Swiss bank UBS agreed to turn over the names of American citizens who authorities suspected were using offshore accounts to evade taxes. According to estimates, more than 50,000 people have offshore accounts at UBS and charges of tax fraud or tax evasion may be brought against many of these individuals. The U.S. government will charge these individuals for evading their tax obligations by failing to reveal the offshore accounts and by not accounting for them on their tax returns.
In addition to charges of tax fraud, some people who have offshore accounts may also be charged with related crimes, including money laundering, false statements, obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges. UBS has admitted to helping private bankers to defraud the United States and the Internal Revenue Service by helping American clients set up and hide their offshore banking accounts. However, overzealous prosecution of these cases may fail to recognize the rights of all individuals in these investigations and may charge innocent people with tax fraud and related charges.
