BERN, Switzerland — Switzerland’s government said Wednesday it would forbid Swiss bank UBS AG from complying with any court-ordered transfer of data on tens of thousands of American clients to the U.S. government and would consider seizing documents to prevent that.
The statement was the strongest yet by Swiss authorities locked in a battle with the U.S. Justice Department over the identities of more than 50,000 American clients at UBS.
