Ex-JPMorgan executive who fled to Argentina pleads guilty in U.S.

By Nate Raymond NEW YORK

A former JPMorgan Chase & Co executive who spent eight years on the run in Argentina pleaded guilty on Friday to U.S. charges that he embezzled 5.4 million from clients at the bank and at a prior employer, UBS AG.

Hernan Arbizu, who became involved in a tax-evasion probe involving JPMorgan, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to charges including wire fraud and embezzlement. He was extradited in June from Argentina.

"I knew what I was doing was wrong," he said in court. "I'm very sorry and am ashamed by my actions."

The 48-year-old citizen of Argentina faces a mandatory-minimum two-year prison sentence and a maximum of 422 years.
