Lombard Odier and a former employee of the Swiss private bank have been indicted for aggravated money laundering.

The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG) has accused the Geneva-based bank and its former employee, who worked in its private client division between 2008 and 2012, of playing a “decisive role” in helping to conceal the criminal activities of Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of deceased Uzbekistan president Islam Karimov, in charges filed on 29 November.
