Germany set to buy further data on Liechtenstein bank accounts
The German state of Schleswig-Holstein is understood to be in talks with an unidentified source to buy a CD containing bank data relating to accounts worth 500 million euros at Liechtensteinische Landesbank, according to a report in Sueddeutsche Zeitung on 22 July 2010.
The Munich-based newspaper said the latest CD was at least the seventh to be offered to German authorities and that Schleswig-Holstein would probably agree the purchase.
Another state, Lower Saxony, bought data last month, sharing the reported cost of 185,000 euros with the federal government in Berlin. The Finance Ministry said it contained information on about 20,000 Swiss bank accounts.
