Germany has established a trade with Liechtenstein personal data of its citizens

As the think tank InfoWatch, last week from a bank in Liechtenstein, was stolen a CD with information about the worst "nalogoneplatelschikah" Germany, indebted to the state about 500 million euros, and offered to acquire the German government.

As the Süddeutsche Zeitung(Germany's largest daily newspaper), the data have been proposed to the tax authorities Shlehvig-Holstein (Land of the FRG). The disc contained personal details of hundreds of Germans who hide their income on bank accounts Liechtensteinische Landesbank (LLB).

Liechtensteinische Landesbank (LLB) is one of the largest banks in the small, but very rich Alpine principality of Liechtenstein, where the banking industry is the foundation of the economy. This state, like neighboring Switzerland, whose early 2010 the German government had not bought a single disc with data on tax debtors, long considered a "tax haven".

It is assumed that the data on the stolen disk fresh, and the government in Kiel, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, an interest in their purchase after authentication. The Government land Shlehvig-Holstein have already held talks on the issue with the Ministry of Finance of Germany, but no final decision has been made.

If the deal goes through, it will be the second time that Germany is buying stolen data from Liechtenstein. In 2008, German secret service gave Lichtenstein over $ 5 million for the names of the leading German businessmen, sports stars and show business, which concealed their income from tax authorities alleged the total bag of € 4 billion.
