A former employee at UBS Group AG’s French unit is suing the government for 3.5 million euros ($4 million) after helping investigators build a tax case against the Swiss bank.
Stephanie Gibaud, who organized events for wealthy UBS France clients before she was fired in 2012, filed a lawsuit to obtain the compensation, a court adviser said at a hearing Thursday in Paris. Gibaud says she hasn’t been able to find any work because she aided the criminal investigation.
