Miami, Florida, USA (GenevaLunch) – Bradley Birkenfeld, the former UBS wealth manager in the US who set off a court case between the US tax authority, the IRS, and Switzerland’s largest bank, says he is ready to give more evidence. Birkenfeld, who stands to benefit from the IRS Whistleblower programme, is scheduled to go to prison 1 January to start serving a 40-month sentence. He has asked a Florida court to delay the start of his sentence in exchange for cooperating more extensively with the IRS, reports Swiss news agency TXT/TSR.
