Gruebel says UBS backs him
The embattled chief executive of UBS yesterday scotched suggestions he would quit, as directors met for the first time since the “rogue” trading scandal emerged. As Oswald Gruebel arrived in Singapore yesterday he was asked if he had the board’s backing and responded: “Yes. Always.” UBS last night refused to comment on reports in a Swiss magazine that Gruebel was asked to leave.
