Plainte en Suisse pour vol et recel (RTS.CH)
Le Ministère public de la Confédération a reçu cette semaine une dénonciation pénale visant Norbert Walter-Borjans, le ministre des Finances de Rhénanie du Nord-Westphalie. Cette dénonciation émane d’un avocat genevois qui l’accuse notamment de vol et de recel dans le cadre de CD de données bancaires.
Pierre Schifferli accuse également le social-démocrate allemand de s’être rendu coupable de soustraction de données, de violation de secret commercial, de soustraction de données personnelles. Les charges de violation du secret bancaire et de violation de la loi sur la protection des données viennent compléter la liste.
The Swiss Federal Attorney-General received this week a criminal compliant against Norbert Walter-Borjans, Finance minister of Nordrhein-Westphalia. The complaint lodged by a Geneva attorney accuses theft and trafficing in stolen property in regards to a CD of bank data. The German minister is accused of illegally obtaining data, violation of commercial secrets, illegal access to personal data, as well as violation of bank secrecy and the Swiss Federal Law on Data Protection.
In the meantime, the Federal Justice Minister of Germany (it was the Laender i.e. State governments that were purchasing stolen bank data) wants to institute a law criminalizing the “fencing” of bank data and its purchase and use.

I think our moderators who usually keep a good eye out for this crap and screen it, might be enjoying a Xmas break!
@geeez @justme As I own this thread, I was able to mark the message as spam.
If the person who wrote the message did not intend it as spam, please keep your posts relevant to our themes of discussion. US Persons living abroad, double/citizenship-based taxation vs territorial taxation, FBAR, FATCA, IGAs, access to banking, unconsitutional behavior of government, stupidity in the press, ignorance on the part of US homelanders about what is really happening, etc. The subject that was mentionned (sounded like some sort of pseudo investment firm running a ponzi scheme, or even a nigerian-style 419 fraud) should probably be reported to the Swiss Federal Office of Justice and Police, not the Isaac Brock Society.
