Huffington Post: Wikileaks gets bank account info of the rich and famous

Rudolf Elmer

LONDON, Jan 17--A former Swiss banker handed over data on hundreds of offshore bank accounts to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at a news conference.

Rudolf Elmer once headed the Julius Baer bank in the Cayman Islands until he was fired by the bank in 2002.

He is scheduled to go on trial in Switzerland for stealing bank secrets.

Elmer handed Assange two CDs at a news conference at a media club in London.

The two yellow and blue discs contain information on 2,000 banking clients who may have offshore bank accounts to evade taxes.

Julian Assange said:

He (Elmer) is clearly a bona fide whistleblower... We have some kind of duty to support him in that matter.
