--UBS faces the highest possible penalty that can be handed to a legal entity as it failed to report money laundering cases "despite well-founded suspicion that the origin of the funds was from corruption," the Swiss Finance Ministry told Bloomberg.

--UBS didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by Dow Jones Newswires.
