A FORMER Swiss banker charged by US prosecutors with helping wealthy Americans evade taxes has been arrested in Germany pending extradition to the United States, his lawyer said on Saturday.

Roger Keller, a one-time client adviser in Zurich at Wegelin & Co, was one of three bankers at the now-defunct Swiss private bank charged in a 2012 indictment in New York federal court for helping US taxpayers hide more than US$1.2 billion in assets.
