The woman at the centre of the rape allegation against UBS has hit out at the Swiss bank for its response to her claims that the company mismanaged her allegations of sexual assault.

The bank last week sent a memo to all staff — seen by Financial News — that claimed the company had initiated a thorough review of how it handled her case and found there “were no fundamental errors” in its investigation process. The review was conducted by Freshfields, a “magic circle” law firm.
