(July 1, 2015)

Yesterday evening (June 30, 2015) I enjoyed watching an interesting documentary on Swiss Leaks. The documentary was broadcast on the German TV channel ARD. Its title is “Falciani und der Bankenskandal”. A.o. Peer Steinbruck, a former Minister of Finance of Germany, and Pascal Saint-Amans appear in it. The documentary lasts 89 minutes and is available in the ARD Mediathek until July 7, 2015. I can recommend the documentary to every tax professional who understands the German language.
