First Client From U.S. Is Arrested in UBS Case

Federal authorities have arrested a wealthy American client of the Swiss bank UBS on charges of tax evasion.
The client, Steven Michael Rubinstein, an accountant, was arrested in Boca Raton, Fla., and charged with one criminal count of filing a false and fraudulent tax return, according to court papers unsealed on Thursday.
