Ex-UBS chief secretary D. R. on the way to an earlier court hearing.
——
The chief secretary D. R. * (56), who was valued by everyone, lived like in the land of milk and honey. With her husband, a honored restaurateur, she dined with the 19-point chef Andreas Caminada (900 francs), spent the night in the famous Vienna Hotel Sacher (1500 francs). D. R. also paid for the flight tickets (CHF 1,300) with a credit card. Blemish: It was the business credit card of her employer, the big bank UBS.

Between 2003 and 2010, the chief secretary made around 850 payments for over a million francs. In addition to luxury travel, D. R. only dressed with selected clothes and accessories. A t-shirt for CHF 320, a bolero jacket for CHF 960, boots for CHF 1,340. She even financed cosmetic surgery with her “wonder card”.

The squad shot down the bird when she booked a trip to the Maldives for herself and her husband for CHF 12,000. A short time later, she canceled everything and had the money transferred to her private account. To do this, D. R. always took a little “walking coin” in the form of thousands – around 250,000 francs.

Superiors looked away
It was only in 2010 that a new supervisor for the chief secretary found out. She had noticed that the cost center was “unusually” heavily loaded. D. R. explained that the debits were credit card statements from a member of the executive board. The supervisor investigated this claim and saw that it had been personal references from D.R.

Yesterday the ex-chief secretary stood before the Zurich High Court. Prosecutor Daniel Kloiber had appealed against the district court’s acquittal: “It was all embezzlement. She wanted beautiful clothes and a beautiful face! »
–
The elegant blonde resisted: “The accounts were accepted by all my superiors, everything was clear.” Back then it was a mixture of private and business.
–
The Zurich High Court also saw no criminal offense and acquitted D. R. Her superiors closed their eyes or accepted the expenses, the court said. A slap in the face for UBS.
