Русская версияAn extortion case in the eastern German city of Rostock has brought
to light more than 1,800 possible tax evasion cases linked to
accounts held at a bank in Lichtenstein, a tiny principality in
Western Europe.
The four defendants are accused of trying to extort
13 million euros from the LLB bank in Lichtenstein by threatening
to reveal customer data stolen from the bank by an employee. The
lawyer of one defendant has now submitted some of that information
to the court. Some 700 Germans, including the former CEO of
Deutsche Post, Klaus Zumwinkel, are already being investigated in
connection with a tax evasion scandal involving secret accounts in
Lichtenstein.
