“Well-known pillars of society . . . hold investment portfolios and may include houses, trading companies, artwork, yachts, jewellery, horses, and so on.”
The offshore bank account details of 2,000 millionaires, billionaires and corporations suggesting massive potential tax evasion will be given to the WikiLeaks organisation in London tomorrow. Rudolf Elmer, the biggest whistleblower in Swiss banking history, will do this two days before he goes on trial in Switzerland.
British and American individuals and companies are some of the offshore clients whose details will be contained on CDs presented to WikiLeaks at the Frontline Club in London. Those involved Elmer tells the Observer, "approximately 40 politicians".
Elmer, who after his press conference will return to Switzerland from exile in Mauritius to face trial, is a former chief operating officer in the Cayman Islands and employee of the powerful Swiss Julius Baer bank. The bank says he stole the information.
