Klaus Zumwinkel

Germany’s fat cat tax dodgers are under fire from government ministers after it was revealed that possibly billions of euros had been channeled into accounts in Lichtenstein…

Officials said Friday they were investigating hundreds of cases of tax evasion, including key figures, via banks in the tiny principality wdged between Austria and Switzerland.

Press reports Saturday said up to 900 search warrants had been issued to be put into effect this weekend, concerning around 1,000 cases of alleged fraud totalling several billion euros…

The affair erupted after a prosecutor in the western city of Bochum announced that Deutsche Post head Klaus Zumwinkel was suspected of involvement in a case of tax fraud.

Zumwinkel handed in his resignation as head of Deutsche Post on Friday…

Zumwinkel also quit as head of the supervisory board of Deutsche Telekom.

The financial and political leaders of a modern Western nation exposed as greedy and corrupt. What a shock!

    Oh, Litchtenstein, oh, Litchtenstein what is in your shell? Saddam kickbacks. Bank al-Taqwa. Modern monarchical state.

    A corp is an externalizing engine. They offload cost and accountability to someone else. In this case, The Bundespolizei.

    Hey, I thought you guys supported privacy? I guess when it involves paying high taxes, privacy goes out the window. Europe is also insisting that US banks provide data on their customers too.

    privacy is going over board here. you can count on that. they also want to know and control everything here – like everywhere else in the world. we have many discussions on privacy rights but they always dig deeper into the data. schöne neue welt…

    A smug Marxist talking about how “greedy and corrupt” people are to want to keep the money they’ve earned. Charmed, I’m sure.

    #3, MikeN,

    Mikey, Mikey, Mikey,. When are you ever going to get it through your head.

    Hey, I thought you guys supported privacy? I guess when it involves paying high taxes, privacy goes out the window. Europe is also insisting that US banks provide data on their customers too.

    Whenever a search warrant is used, privacy is limited. What most people oppose is the blanket invasion without a warrant. BTW, if those US banks do business in Europe, they must obey a warrant. The same happens here, foreign banks must obey US law and warrants.

    #4 & #5,

    Sheet, you armpits make MikeN look almost normal.
