Germany paid EURO 5m for Zumwinkel tax data
Published: February 17 2008 18:01 |

Germany paid at least EURO 4m for information that led to the arrest of
Klaus Zumwinkel, Deutsche Post chief executive, before he resigned
last week. The data could claim hundreds more victims in the biggest
tax evasion crackdown in the country's recent history.

A finance ministry spokesman told the Financial Times the ministry and
the chancellery had authorised the BND intelligence service to pay a
former employee of LGT, Liechtenstein's biggest bank, for a DVD
containing a list of German tax evaders.

The news of the payment, revealed by the Der Spiegel weekly,
underlines the value of the data to Berlin, which has with limited
success sought to recover billions in unpaid taxes through a series of
amnesties.

The list is believed to include account details of about 750 German
nationals who circumvented taxes by parking money in trusts managed by
LGT. After the raid on Mr Zumwinkel's house on Thursday, tax
investigators and prosecutors are expected to launch up to 150
investigations this week.

The finance ministry would not comment on whether German tax
investigators could rely on stolen documents to build cases. Neither
would the government confirm the amount paid to the informant, now
under police protection. One person familiar with the case said it was
"in the order" of EURO 4m to EURO 5m ($7.3m, £3.7m).

Since the BND, a federal institution, does not have a mandate to
investigate tax evasion, which lies in the remit of regional states,
some politicians on Sunday called for an inquiry into whether the
agency had only acted as messenger for the prosecutor. "We must look
into whether it only played a passive role," Hans-Christian Ströbele,
a Green MP and civil rights activist, said.

Officials said the BND was involved because the informant turned to
the agency while seeking to avoid contact with the tax authorities.
The DVD, they said, would not be included as evidence in future court
cases.

The case will have diplomatic repercussions when Otmar Hasler,
Liechtenstein's prime minister, visits Berlin on Tuesday and
Wednesday, meeting Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, and Peer
Steinbrück, the finance minister.

LGT is owned by the principality's ruling family. Germany has long
tried to force its government to provide legal assistance in tax
evasion cases. Liechtenstein has assisted Berlin in tax fraud, money
laundering and terrorism cases, but refuses to extend such co-
operation to tax evasion.

La soit disant rigueur allemande

Je ne connaîtrai pas la peur, car la peur tue l'esprit. La peur est la
petite mort qui conduit à l'oblitération totale. J'affronterai ma peur.
Je lui permettrai de passer sur moi, au travers de moi. Et lorsqu'elle
sera passée, je tournerai mon oeil intérieur sur mon chemin. Et là où
elle sera passée, il n'y aura plus rien. Rien que moi.

Le plus remarquable est qu'il fallait un DVD, la liste n'aurait
certainement pas tenu sur un CD...
