瑞士信貸帳戶解密

資料：上千個祕密帳戶，藏匿一千億瑞朗資金

首度公布：世界最保密銀行的真相 #SuisseSecrets

瑞士的銀行客戶保密條款並不道德……保護個人財產隱私的說辭，只不過是瑞士銀行業用來掩蓋自己是逃稅共犯的遮羞布。此舉不只助長貪污，還掠奪了發展中國家迫切需要的稅收。

——瑞士黑幕消息來源

瑞士的銀行客戶保密條款在保護誰？
數字帳戶的背後隱藏了哪些最高機密？

匿名吹哨者將一份資料傳給《南德日報》的調查團隊，裡面有獨裁者、特務、國王、樞機主教和超級富豪們在瑞士信貸的祕密帳戶，共暗藏了一千億瑞郎的不法收入。

這些國家菁英把貪污、逃稅、挪用公款和剝削人民的所得藏匿在「金融隱私的基地」瑞士，或利用瑞士的帳戶洗錢。瑞士的銀行長期用客戶保密條款為藉口進行不正當交易，美其名為「保護來自世界各地的銀行客戶」，實際上卻包庇了犯罪與不法。

三位記者與組織犯罪與貪腐舉報計畫（OCCRP）合作，並有英國衛報、法國世界報等共150位來自世界各地的記者參與調查，準備一起公開這些弊行。但他們意識到，瑞士為了保護銀行祕密甚至限制了新聞自由，並以入獄威脅調查人員。

這份以國際最高保密規格完成的調查報導具有巨大的政治爆炸力，揭開金融體系幕後的故事，首度向全世界公開瑞士信貸的真相。

[Nouvel Diamant]

Das Buch deckt inhaltlich "nur" die Rechercharbeit im Zusammenhang mit dem Datenleck ab.

Das 'Versprechen' auf dem Buchdeckel - "Wie Banker das Geld von Steuerhinterziehern, Foltergenerälen, Diktatoren und der katholischen Kirche versteckt haben - mit Hilfe der Politik" wird - leider - nicht abgedeckt und eingelöst...

[Marius · Rating 3 out of 5]

In dem Buch geht es hauptsächlich um die Recherchearbeit und weniger um die eigentlichen Geheimnisse, die der Leak aufdeckt. Es ist trotzdem spannend und gut zu lesen, daher 3 Sterne. Ich hätte mir aber mehr Details zu den einzelnen Machenschaften gewünscht.

Sehr interessant und gut verständlich erklärt

[Markus Auer · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Swiss banking market is to an uncomfortably large degree an opaque vault for unsavory money, everyone knows that. Just how unsavory? That is the question that the SZ's now-infamous investigative reporting team (Panama Papers, Paradise Papers, Ibizagate, ...) tried to answer using a leak of client data from Credit Suisse. The result? Warlords, corrupt politicians, and other undesirables are welcome clients. Apparently, the respective compliance departments believe KYC and AML are fast-food chains. Anything else would indicate malicious intent or smug indifference.
Unfortunately, the book itself, while important, appears rushed, and the authors even state as much. The book lists a small number of high-profile cases and their connection to CS. Some are already water under the bridge while others open up to serious allegations yet to be investigated. I would have preferred a more conclusive post-mortem a few months down the road. Unfortunately, recent geopolitical events have all but drowned out the press coverage on this undoubtedly important investigation. It appears the devil does indeed look after his own.

[Federico De Michele · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book can be described as a spotlight on the Swiss banking secrets, according to the Swiss Banking Regulation. This investigation, which arose from an anonymous leak, drives the reader's attention to the labyrinthine system of financial services.

contenuto e lavoro di ricerca eccellenti, ma avrei preferito una prosa meno ripetitiva e più piacevole che avrebbe agevolato la lettura
