“The German state of North Rhine-Westphalia is pursuing tax evaders who secretly stashed cash in Switzerland, after the towns of Wuppertal and Aachen purchased two CDs from a whistleblower, including data from UBS. The Swiss have reacted angrily to the CD purchases and even issued arrest warrants earlier this year for three German tax investigators they accused of buying secret tax data. Silvia Baer, spokeswoman for the right-wing People’s Party (SVP), said: ‘If a market develops for stolen data and is even practically promoted by the government, then you will always have people who steal data.'” [The newest state-sponsored industry blossoms.]
