Switzerlands president on Sunday warned foreign governments against using illegally acquired bank data to nab tax evaders, as no deals with criminals should be made under the rule of law.
German press reported that a secret informant had offered to sell the German taxman the names of 1,500 Germans who have funds hidden in Switzerland.
The disk said to contain the names of the 1,500 Germans with funds parked in Switzerland sparked a moral debate in Germany Sunday as Berlin agonised over paying for what seemed to be stolen data.
