Members of the congressional bicameral commission investigating HSBC supposed illegal scheme to help Argentines evade taxes started their activities in Paris yesterday by meeting with a group of French legislators, who backed the recent Belgium bill against the “vulture” funds, and with UBS whistleblower Stéphanie Gibaud.
Commission chair Roberto Feletti alongside a group of commission members met with French legislators and discussed the economic and political scenario of Europe and Latin America, global finance and the “vulture” funds case, an issue described as of “concern” by the Europan lawmakers who highlighted the need for a new debt restructuring framework.

A former UBS director has told an Argentinian parliamentary commission visiting France of a network at the bank which assisted Latin American clients launder funds and evade taxes. UBS denies the allegations.
Stephanie Gibaud, who was head of communications at UBS France until 2012, spoke to members of Argentina’s parliament, on a visit to the French capital to investigate undeclared accounts opened at HSBC, following earlier revelations made by Hervé Falciani, a former HSBC employee in Geneva.
Although UBS did not have a branch for private banking operation in Argentina, Gibaud said the company had a “network of external intermediaries, who would arrive in the country as tourists, with ‘clean’ phones, and attend events and dinners to recruit Argentinian clients”.
