House Arrest
Weil, a Swiss citizen, first appeared in a Florida court on Dec. 16, five years after he was indicted and declared a fugitive. He was arrested Oct. 2 after checking into a hotel in Bologna, Italy. He waived extradition to the U.S. He is free on $10.5 million bail and staying under house arrest in New Jersey.
He must prepare for an Oct. 14 trial that may include testimony for the prosecution from Martin Liechti, a former manager of the UBS Americas International division.
Liechti, arrested on a material witness warrant in Miami in April 2008, received a non-prosecution agreement and spent four months at a Four Seasons Hotel during debriefings, according to a court filing. He agreed to testify at future trials.
The case is U.S. v. Weil, 08-cr-60322, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida (Fort Lauderdale).
