ZURICH--Swiss bank UBS AG (UBS) said Friday that it will
"certainly fully cooperate" with authorities after Swiss prosecutors began a
criminal probe for alleged money laundering related to rainforest logging in
Malaysia.
"UBS applies the highest standards worldwide in the fight
against money laundering and corruption," the bank said in a statement, noting
that the bank is under an obligation to report the discovery of criminal
proceeds and suspicious activities to the relevant anti-money laundering
authorities.
The AP reported that the investigation stems from a
complaint from a Swiss environmental group, called The Bruno Manser Fund, which
alleges that the bank had close ties to Musa Aman, the chief minister of the
Malaysian state of Sabah, accused of laundering over $90 million linked to
logging operations on Borneo.
