A former Swiss banker yesterday told court that he helped two Anglo-Leasing scandal suspects to open a multi-billion shilling account in Switzerland.

Bradley Burkenfield, who testified through a video link from Malta, told Senior Principal Magistrate Martha Mutuku that he was a director at Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) between 2001 and 2006 when he helped Deepak Kamani and Rashmi Kamani open the account.
