The Hot CD-ROM with the data of German citizens, hiding from the tax money in Swiss banks, has become a regular prichnoy cooling in the relations of Germany and Switzerland.

Banking Switzerland”s “confusion”. Germany”s intention to buy a stolen bank data from Switzerland had a serious impact on relations between the two countries. It is already on the “scandal” of “modern form of attack on the bank” or to “declare war”. In Bern wary glances in the direction of Berlin.

head of the Democratic Christian Party of Switzerland (DHPSH) Christoph Darbelle calls it a scandal. It is monstrous that his German colleagues, led by Federal Chancellor came to terms with the owner of the stolen bank data. Darbelle considered unacceptable for the rule of law to work with bought and besides the stolen information.

Tony Brunner, chairman of the Swiss People”s Party and the political heir of the right populist Christoph1000Blocher, in turn, is convinced: “This is a declaration of war on Switzerland. If Germany”s cooperation with criminals values higher than co-operation with friendly nations, the relations between countries should be redefined” .

Pirmin Bischof, an expert on financial matters DHPSH in Swiss radio broadcast called the events “a modern form of attacks on banks.” But the chief of the Federal Department of Finance of Switzerland Hans-Rudolf Merz on Monday, February 1, in a telephone conversation with his German counterpart Wolfgang Schauble gave him to understand that Switzerland does not intend to cooperate with Germany on the basis of stolen data bank clients.

Ultimately at stake for Switzerland is more: believe that the citizens of Germany sheltered from taxes on Swiss bank accounts more than 100 billion euros. Their loss can be a cruel blow for the Swiss. In view of these billions of “dirty” money expert in public law from Freiburg Henni, Peter (Peter Hdnni) finds a strange disturbance in Switzerland about the alleged illegal activities in Germany. According to him, the Swiss Confederation and myself for many years had questionable dealings with tax evaders in Germany and other countries, so its teachings seem unconvincing.

One way to pressure from the Swiss still remained: the ongoing negotiations on an agreement on avoidance of double taxation with Germany. But this agreement will reduce the Swiss bank secrecy and make it clear than Switzerland in the future be able to help financial institutions of Germany in the fight against tax evasion. Therefore, the leader DHPSH Darbelle calls for suspension of the negotiations. According to him, a country that behaves in this way, it is impossible to rely.

However, despite all attempts by the Swiss authorities to protect themselves, a situation in which they were becoming increasingly uncomfortable. In the past, Americans have already made from the Swiss bank UBS issuing data on thousands of clients. The Italians are taking decisive action against “tax oasis”, the Swiss canton of Ticino. France is on the hands was another disc with banking information from the Geneva branch of the bank HSBC. And now more and escalating conflict with Germany.

Judge Peter Henni believes that Switzerland for many years not even tried to put its house in order, but now it is a massive pressure from the outside, to resist that it could not. He does not believe in the future “tax oasis” especially if you try to build on the already outdated business model. However, I am sure Henni, “Swiss banks are themselves understand.” So it may soon come to an end and the Swiss banking secrecy, and secret bank accounts.
