Former UBS executive accepts extradition to US: lawyer

Raoul Weil, 54, has "agreed to extradition to the US because he has always been prepared to confront these charges," his New York-based lawyer Aaron Marcu told AFP late on Monday. Weil, who was once chairman of the global wealth management service at Switzerland's biggest bank UBS, was indicted by a US federal grand jury in 2008 for his alleged role in overseeing the US cross-border business.
