Sospetti sulla morte di Joerg Haider
- Dall'articolo "The Death of a statesman. How a Target Killing is Spun as "accident" by the Media. Part II" (FarSight3, Rumor Mill News, 12 ottobre 2008):
Dr.Joerg Haider would have become the new chancellor of Austria. As our agents have elaborated in a few threads already this "accident" smells a lot [1].
Let's repeat a few facts:
On Friday, 10th Dr.Haider was appearing about 10:00 pm as a "surprise"-guest at a presentation for a new paper at a local club in Klagenfurt where he maximally drank one glass of champaign, as witnesses stated, indipendently ("he only sipped at one glass"). So he was definitely not "drunk" - btw. I knew him personally and he was not much into drinking, anyhow.
About midnight he left the party and made a detour to drop his personal driver at his home in Klagenfurt - to "give him some days off", as the Haiders were about to celebrate Dr.Haider's mother 90th birthday on Saturday at their home in Baerental. So this would be one of those few "opportunities" where Dr.Haider would drive alone, as normally an official car has to be driven by the assignated driver.
Haider drives a "Sun-Chariot" (Phaeton):
The car was a Volkswagen Phaeton V6 TDI, with two tons weight and 240 HP, max. Speed 237 km/h, equipped with the latest approximity-warning and ABS, 12 airbags(!), 4 wheel drive, automatic six gear and Tiptronic.
According to what we heard first in the news, "Haider was overtaking a mysterious woman and veered off the road shortly after the manouvre". The accident happened right before the entrance of the small village of Lambichl, south of Klagenfurt, on a clear three lane road (where even there would have no possibility of opposit traffic) about 1:00 am. The weather was slightly foggy, as it is normal during that time of the year, and Dr.Haider knew the road perfectly well - additionaly he had an accident almost there in 1993, already.
There was a speed limit of 70 km/h which turned into a (provisorically) 50 km/h-limit, due to a strange, temporary "construction fence" (no idea, no mentioning where it was), which was hit by the car as well, as you could see parts of its shattered frames on the road.
No breaking traces were visible, anywhere. You can see exactly the location where Haider's car veered off the road - there are straight lines without braking attempts - clearly seen in the grassy part, right to the main road that leads into a slight slope that would cause the car to flip over, certainly.
No mentioning of the identity of the main witness anywhere - what seems to be strange - as you would suspect hordes of yellow-press journalists chasing after that woman who must have seen the accident, if you tend to believe anything what was stated of this in the media.
It was first reported that this woman called 911 at 1:08 pm, although we could read that she first "had problems to get through" - a remark that dissapeared shortly after its airing in the early morning hours. There was word as well of "firefighters at the place, who allegedly rescued Dr.Haider" out of the wreck - and that he was "alive".
The same statement of the emergency doctor who was said to have "arrived first" and tried to stabilize the victim, who "showed weak signs of life, although he had suffered severe injuries to his head, chest, broken neck [2] and left arm almost severed".
Now it is stated by the chief of the Klagenfurt hospital, Dr.Koperna, that "he was dead, immediately"! The autopsy will take place in Graz(!) - not at Klagenfurt (?) - according to prosecutur Gottfried Kranz.
Strange, that you could see no blood on the crime scene, especially not on the driver's seat.
Both left doors of the car were missing and can be found - almost undamaged - on different locations at different pictures.
It was concluded by "experts" today that Dr.Haider drove at 88 mph (142 km/h). Again, this should be no problem, as you could make at this part of the road easily more than 100, without any problems - especially with THAT car!
The crime scene was manipulated, afterwards:
If you compare different photos from the night, compared with the pics shot on Saturday, during the day, you will recognize that different items were moved, added or altered, after the "accident".
The two left doors were moved, as the car itself, after the crash. The police is obliged normally to make their markings at the crime scene DIRECTLY after the event.
But - nothing seems to have gone "normally" in this case.
See for that:
http://forum.infokrieg.tv/viewtopic.php?t=5866&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=150
Besides the fact that there is no word of the mysterious woman in the car after Dr.Haider, anymore, there are likewise no statements of the inhabitants in the houses around, who should have recognized a "big bang" in the night. Strange!
And there is even more: Look at that almost circular HOLE, right above the driver's seat!
What effect causes an almost perfect circular hole into the roof, located exactly over the driver?
Additionally, as you can see on this picture, the bolts, fixing the left front and back tire have - vanished. The tires are clearly leaned against the remains of the car. Again, the both left side doors have vanished from the car, although the closing mechanisms - along with the electrical components, seem to be unharmed...
Dr.Haider died on the same day as Uwe Barschel [3] was killed by a hit team, exactly 21 years ago.
Dr.Haider had promised to "clean out the mud of today's banking manipulations" [4].
And he was a man who kept his promises always...
Sorveglianza e Paesi europei
- Dall'articolo "The Most Spied Upon People Are In Europe" (Paul Kirby / Dominic Casciani / Emma Jane Kirby / David Willey / Malcolm Brabant / Julian Isherwood, BBC, 28 febbraio 2008):
BBC reporters give a snapshot of the extent of surveillance across Europe.
Germany's highest court has ruled that spying on personal computers violates privacy, but governments across Europe are under pressure to help their security services fight terrorism and organised crime.
"The threat of terrorism has forced the German government to take stricter measures"
Paul Kirby on Germany
"Privacy campaigners say the UK has some of the world's leading surveillance systems"
Dominic Casciani on the UK
"On the whole, the French are not big fans of surveillance equipment."
Emma Jane Kirby on France
"Italians are among the most spied upon people in the world, says the Max Planck Institute," David Willey on Italy
"Greece has such strong constitutional protection against state sponsored spying," Malcolm Brabant on Greece
"CCTV monitoring, while extensive in other parts of Europe, is not widespread"
Julian Isherwood on Denmark
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GERMANY - PAUL KIRBY
Germans have an historic fear of state intrusion, dating back to the Stasi secret police in the East and the Nazi-era Gestapo. But the threat of terrorism has forced the German government to take stricter measures.
During the 1970s, the West German authorities tightened legislation after a series of attacks by the left-wing Red Army Faction. The German government went further following revelations about Mohammed Atta, the head of the Hamburg cell involved in the 9/11 attacks on New York.
Court limits cyber spying
The most controversial changes have come since 2006, when police found explosives in a pair of suitcases left on two passenger trains in Koblenz and Dortmund in western Germany.
The bombs did not go off and, after surveillance camera video was posted on the internet, arrests were made.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said the use of video surveillance was clearly important and rail operator Deutsche Bahn stepped up its use of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras.
When a laptop was found apparently containing plans, sketches and maps, the authorities then considered how to monitor suspects' computers so that plots could be prevented at an earlier stage.
The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) already had the ability to monitor suspects' emails and the websites and chat rooms they visited.
They could also tap phones with the consent of a judge.
Now they wanted to send emails that would infect a recipient's computer with spy software and relay information to police computers.
The threat was compounded by the discovery of 12 vats of hydrogen peroxide in September 2007 and an alleged plot to bomb US civil and military targets.
Three hundred police had been involved in a nine-month surveillance operation but had not been able to access the suspects' computers.
The Constitutional Court has now decided that the practice of cyber spying violates the right to privacy but would be acceptable in exceptional cases, under the auspices of a judge.
Faced with warnings from Germany's privacy commissioner of ever more sweeping surveillance - and protesters' T-shirts bearing the slogan "Stasi 2.0" - the government will have to tread carefully.
The police believe they will need to use spy software in perhaps 10 cases a year.

UNITED KINGDOM - DOMINIC CASCIANI
There is a big-budget sci-fi thriller running on BBC TV at the moment called The Last Enemy.
The hero is advising ministers on plans for a crime-fighting database to link all databases. And, unwittingly, he becomes a victim of the computer's all-seeing eyes.
So is it silly drama or the shape of things to come?
Privacy campaigners say the UK has some of the world's leading surveillance systems - and they argue there is now a real failure of sufficient oversight.
ID cards face delay
Take the millions of CCTV cameras, for example. They were rolled out to deter city centre crime.
But thanks to the internet and new software that can read number plates, text and, in certain circumstances, isolate specific human behaviour, their importance is increasing ten-fold.
The question in the UK is what would happen if you took camera data and married it to other sources, such as information on the location of mobile phones, swipe cards for urban transport and static databases about you, your family and life history. That would be a pretty effective surveillance system, say critics.
Ministers say this is completely fanciful - for a start there are no plans for a supercomputer to gather this information.
Secondly they argue two important laws govern the use of personal information and how the security services can use surveillance technology.
But the reality is they are now struggling politically to make reassurances stick.
The two main opposition parties oppose plans for full biometric identity cards on grounds of cost, oversight and, increasingly, fears of incompetence. The cards are almost certain to become a big issue at the next general election.
A string of controversies have buffeted ministers including the loss of a laptop containing information on armed services personnel and the disappearance of CDs holding family records. There has also been a row over the bugging of an MP.
While none of these rows seamlessly fit together, the jigsaw pieces are enough to make some people nervous.
So while the police-led DNA database - the largest in the world - has clear crime-fighting successes under its belt, no political party will back the calls of one highly respected judge to place everyone on it.
The Roman satirist Juvenal famously asked "Who watches the watchmen?" and that question is very much alive in British politics today.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FRANCE - EMMA JANE KIRBY
When you remember that the word "Liberty" is one of just three words enshrined in the French Republic's motto, you can guess that on the whole, the French are not big fans of surveillance equipment.
Too bad then that last year, the French Interior Minister, Michele Alliot-Marie, announced that the number of CCTV cameras in France would triple by 2009 in a bid to crack down on street crime and to fight terrorism.
Official estimates suggest there are already about 340,000 authorised surveillance cameras in France and this new move would see the number of cameras on Paris's public transport network hit 6,500 in the next two years - compared with a projected 9,000 on the London Underground in the same period.
Plans to deploy 4ft-long spy drones across French skies in an attempt to tackle the country's growing problem of gang violence were also unveiled.
The drones, with day-night vision, will be used to track suspects and should begin full operational testing this year. The plan has annoyed many local officials who doubt spy cameras are the answer - they would rather see neighbourhood police officers brought back.
The children who have this device will think of their parents as Big Brother - I think that scares me. --Jean Claude Guillemard, Psychologist
Surveillance cameras are not just kept for the streets. Last year a company which manufactures GPS systems for cars launched Kiditel, a child-tracking device.
The games console-sized device slips into a child's pocket and allows parents to keep track of their child's movements via satellite images sent to their computers.
Many parents welcomed a product they believed would help their children keep safe, but psychologists like Jean Claude Guillemard were not so welcoming:
"The children who have this device will think of their parents as Big Brother" he said. "I think that scares me. I think it's dangerous for their mental health."
Similarly a French childminder caused a row last year when she became the first nanny to install an internet webcam in her creche so that parents could still look in on their children - and see that she was taking good care of them - even though they were at work.
The parents loved it, but local authorities and the National Federation of Maternal Assistants denounced the idea as undermining the relationship of trust between the parents and the child minder.
The eye in the sky may be keeping an ever closer watch on France - but the French are determined to keep their liberty.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITALY - DAVID WILLEY
Italians are among the most spied upon people in the world. That's the conclusion of the authoritative German scientific think-tank, the Max Planck Institute, which reports that Italy leads the world with 76 intercepts per 100,000 people each year.
Although the Italian constitution guarantees privacy of information, and a national data protection authority was set up in 2003 with a communications ombudsman at its head, wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping are widely used not only by the secret services, but also by the judiciary, particularly in the fight against organised crime.
Prosecutors routinely order wiretaps as a result of police investigations, and the cost to the Italian state has become a heavy burden on the taxpayer.
Wiretaps are carried out with the help of the now privatised Italian Telecom, which has been frequently criticised in the media for working hand in glove with the secret services.
A former director of security at Telecom, Giuliano Tavaroli, who had close links with the secret services, was sent to prison together with his friend Marco Mancini, a former anti-terrorism chief, as a result of a wiretapping scandal.
Several recent high profile political scandals have revealed the extent to which the private conversations of politicians and public figures are being taped.
Although the bugging of MPs' phones is forbidden without the specific permission of parliament, prosecutors and judges routinely leak to journalists details of compromising conversations.
The former governor of the Bank of Italy, Antonio Fazio, was forced to resign as a result of a scandal which came to light in this way.
The outgoing government of Romano Prodi announced last year that it was going to introduce a law making it an offence punishable by up to three years imprisonment for journalists to publish information obtained through judicially authorised wiretapping leaks. But no such law was ever passed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GREECE - MALCOLM BRABANT
In the run-up to the 2004 Athens Olympics, I met a man who was furious about the appearance of 350 cameras in the capital as part of a $1.5bn security programme to protect athletes and spectators.
"If I choose to have an affair with a woman who is not my wife, that is my fundamental human right, and I should be protected from being caught on camera," he said.
Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis
Costas Karamanlis and other ministers were tapped
The man was walking in the suburb of Nikaia, where the local left-wing mayor, who disapproved of surveillance, had ordered workmen to daub black paint over the lenses.
That cameo encapsulates the desire of most Greeks to resist state attempts to spy on them and helps explain why Greece leads the European Union and the rest of the world in privacy protection for its citizens.
The other important contributory factor is the strength and moral independence of the nation's Data Protection Authority, which is resolute in its determination to uphold the following principles enshrined in the Greek constitution:
# Every person's home is a sanctuary
# The private and family life of the individual is inviolable
# Secrecy of letters and all other forms of free correspondence or communication shall be absolutely inviolable
The authority has real teeth. In December 2006 it fined mobile phone company Vodafone 76m euros for bugging more than 100 top Greek officials, including Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, around the time of the Olympics.
Vodafone's network planning manager in Greece, Costas Tsalikides, was found hanged not long after he informed his superiors he had discovered that spying software had been secretly installed in the company's system.
Mr Tsalikides family has always suspected he was murdered.
So many years after the dictatorship, Greece is very sensitive in the area of freedoms.
Panos Garganos, Greek protester
Since January 18, 2008, the case has been officially closed. Vodafone Greece will appeal against the fine and has co-operated fully with all relevant authorities since the beginning of the case.
The Data Protection Authority has also frustrated the efforts of the Conservative government to extract some value from the Olympic security system.
When a left-wing group called Revolutionary Struggle fired a rocket into the office of the US ambassador in Athens, there was no video record because the security cameras were switched off.
The authority refused to allow the cameras to be used for anything other than traffic control.
In November 2007, a state prosecutor told the police that they would be allowed to use footage from the surveillance system to prosecute demonstrators who turned violent.
The new rules were first applied during the annual November 17th march to commemorate the dozens of students killed in 1973 when tanks of the right wing colonels' junta crushed an uprising at Athens Polytechnic.
"So many years after the dictatorship, Greece is very sensitive in the area of freedoms," said Panos Garganos, who was marching for the 33rd year in succession.
The use of the cameras to monitor the demonstration led to the resignation of the head of the Data Protection Authority.
Despite the fact that Greece has such strong constitutional protection against state sponsored spying, some of my contacts refuse to have sensitive conversations on either land lines or mobile phones, because they assume that someone is listening.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DENMARK - JULIAN ISHERWOOD
In keeping with other European countries, Denmark has also introduced anti-terrorist legislation that has provided the country's domestic security service PET with a raft of monitoring tools with which to carry out its counter-terrorism activities.
With the discovery over the past five years of terrorist cells, and particularly groups using Denmark as preparatory ground for activities elsewhere in Europe, Danish parliamentarians have been relatively unanimous in adopting monitoring counter-terrorism measures, with the broad support of the general public.
These have included the availability to the domestic security service of quite extensive monitoring measures, particularly in the areas of communication interception, data retention and the ability to monitor and geographically locate mobile and other telephone conversations.
Safeguards on CCTV monitoring in Denmark are strict Internet Service Providers are now by law required to keep all communication for at least one year. Access to all of these monitoring activities however, although simplified in the latest counter-terrorism legislation, is not automatic and still requires a court order.
While previous legislation required the security service to substantiate and obtain a court order for each telephone number it wished to monitor, the new law provides for application for a court order to monitor a person's full communication activities - telephones and cyber-communication - but only in connection with cases falling under counter-terrorism legislation.
CCTV monitoring, while extensive in other parts of Europe, is not widespread in Denmark, although there are currently plans, and a public demand, to introduce monitoring in some crime-prone urban areas following several murders and disturbances in defined areas at night.
However, safeguards against general CCTV monitoring are strict, preventing the installation of CCTV cameras in public areas that would allow the identification of individuals or groups.
A Copenhagen kindergarten that recently suggested it would like to install CCTV monitoring around its premises gave up the idea following a public outcry.
Similarly, workplace monitoring is under strict control, preventing camera surveillance of employees, although the installation of CCTV in public areas of shops in particular is permitted.

Germania e svendita dati personali agli USA
- Dall'articolo "Il sesso dei tedeschi alla mercé degli Usa" (Alessandro Alviani, La Stampa, 27 aprile 2008):
Passi per nome, cognome e nazionalità. Passi, volendo, anche per le impronte digitali. Ma il motivo per cui, in futuro, le autorità statunitensi potranno scoprire persino l'orientamento e le pratiche sessuali dei tedeschi sospettati di terrorismo resta un mistero. Fatto sta che l'autorizzazione a conoscere la vita intima dei cittadini è arrivata direttamente dal governo di Berlino, nel più completo silenzio. L’ 11 marzo i ministri degli Interni e della Giustizia, Wolfgang Schäuble e Brigitte Zypries, hanno firmato con i colleghi statunitensi per la Sicurezza nazionale e per la Giustizia, Michael Chertoff e Michael Mukasey, un accordo per la lotta al terrorismo. L'intesa, che consente ai due Paesi uno scambio più rapido di informazioni sensibili, tra cui i profili del Dna dei sospetti, contiene alcuni passaggi rimasti finora segreti. Come l'articolo 12. Anche i dati personali relativi a «razza o provenienza etnica, opinioni politiche, religiose o altre convinzioni», come pure quelli riguardanti «appartenenza sindacale, stato di salute o vita sessuale» potranno essere scambiati, «se rilevanti ai fini dell'accordo», si legge nel testo. Non è chiaro come Berlino possa ricostruire i profili sessuali dei suoi cittadini né in che misura tali dettagli possano aiutare a combattere il terrorismo internazionale.In ogni caso la notizia, rivelata dal settimanale «Der Spiegel» nel suo nuovo numero e confermata dal Ministero federale degli Interni, ha già scatenato polemiche in Germania. Per Michael Sommer, capo della confederazione sindacale Dgb, «il fatto che il governo possa comunicare agli Usa l'appartenenza sindacale dei cittadini tedeschi è il colmo della sfrontatezza». Secondo Gisela Piltz, esperta del partito liberale per le questioni interne, si tratta di «una sorpresa sgradevole», mentre Petra Pau, vicepresidente del Bundestag (la Camera bassa del Parlamento) ed esponente della Linke, parla di «una cosa da manicomio». Il ministero degli Interni si affretta a precisare: il trasferimento delle informazioni sulla vita sessuale o l'iscrizione a un sindacato è sì formalmente consentito, ma rappresenta una pura circostanza teorica, in quanto tali dettagli sono irrilevanti nella lotta al terrorismo. Inoltre, ha spiegato un portavoce di Schäuble, l'articolo 12 prevede controlli speciali prima che i dati vengano trasferiti a Washington. Una puntualizzazione che non basta però a frenare le polemiche. Già al momento della firma dell'accordo il delegato del governo federale per la protezione della privacy, Peter Schaar, aveva espresso forti dubbi. L'intesa estende infatti alcuni meccanismi del «Trattato di Prüm», siglato originariamente da sette Paesi Ue, anche agli Stati Uniti, senza che questi siano dotati degli stessi standard europei in materia di privacy. L'accordo di Prüm sulla cooperazione nella lotta al terrorismo, firmato nel 2005 e sottoscritto dall'Italia in un secondo momento, prevede una serie di controlli e diritti a tutela dei cittadini. Negli Usa, al contrario, la legge sulla protezione dei dati personali vale solo per i cittadini statunitensi e per gli stranieri che vi vivono da lungo tempo e non si applica alle informazioni provenienti dall'estero. Come a dire: una volta superato l'Atlantico, non si sa quello che succederà ai dettagli sui comportamenti sessuali dei tedeschi o sulla loro appartenenza sindacale. Malgrado i dubbi, comunque, l'intesa dovrebbe assumere un valore esemplare, almeno nei piani di Washington. Lo scorso marzo il ministro Chertoff aveva chiarito di voler estendere i contenuti dell'accordo siglato con Berlino anche ad altri Paesi europei, senza fornire ulteriori dettagli. Un accenno che era bastato a sollevare le critiche della Commissione europea, preoccupata che altri Paesi Ue possano imboccare la strada di accordi separati e bilaterali con Washington. Passeranno comunque mesi prima che la Germania sveli all'intelligence Usa i dettagli della vita intima dei suoi cittadini sospettati di terrorismo o di gravi crimini. Per essere ratificato, l'accordo dovrà ricevere l'ok prima del presidente federale, Horst Köhler, e poi dei due rami del Parlamento tedesco.
Sui conti segreti in Liechtenstein e altro - Parte 6
- Dall'articolo "La Germania dichiara guerra ai paradisi fiscali" (Il Messaggero, 25 febbraio 2008):
La Germania dichiara guerra ai paradisi fiscali in Europa e avverte di essere pronta a condividere con altri stati la lista di evasori che ha fatto scoppiare un maxi-scandalo nel Paese. Nell'elenco, comprato da un informatore del Liechtenstein, infatti non ci sono solo i nomi di cittadini tedeschi che hanno portato capitali nel Liechtenstein, ma anche stranieri, e già si sono fatte avanti le autorità di tre paesi nordici.
Guerra ai paradisi fiscali. Berlino è decisa quindi a proseguire nella sua strada e non solo contro il piccolo stato incastrato tra l'Austria e la Svizzera. A tornare alla carica sull'argomento è stato il ministro delle Finanze tedesco Peer Steinbrueck. «Il nostro obiettivo è quello di dichiarare guerra ai paradisi fiscali in Europa», ha detto al domenicale Bild am Sonntag. E, come primo passo, il governo intende mettere a disposizione anche di altri paesi l'ormai famoso cd con la lunga lista di nomi (circa 900) di evasori - non solo tedeschi - comprato per oltre quattro milioni di euro da un informatore del Liechtenstein. Cd, questo, che era stato rubato nel 2002 alla banca del Liechtenstein Lgt Group, come ha confermato lo stesso istituto.
Il quotidiano economico tedesco Handelsblatt scrive oggi che la Finlandia, la Svezia e la Norvegia hanno già chiesto a Berlino di consultare il cd. Il ministero delle Finanze olandese ha invitato invece gli eventuali interessati a sistemare le loro posizioni. Altrimenti rischiano di dover pagare pesanti multe. Steinbrueck ha ammesso la disponibilità di Berlino ad aiutare chiunque sia impegnato nella lotta ai paradisi fiscali. Sembra quindi che il governo del cancelliere Angela Merkel non sia soddisfatto della prevista riforma delle fondazioni annunciata la settimana scorsa da Vaduz. Al centro dello scandalo, come è noto, ci sono le cosiddette fondazioni offerte dal Liechtenstein, molto attraenti dal punto di vista fiscale perché prevedono tra l'altro aliquote anche inferiori all'1%. «Queste non sono affatto fondazioni - ha detto Steinbrueck -. Il Liechtenstein deve modificare l'intera struttura che usa per incoraggiare l'evasione fiscale in Germania e altrove». Vaduz, da parte sua, ha già detto che la prevista riforma delle fondazioni non toccherà il diritto alla privacy dei facoltosi clienti del principato.
Informatore ha ottenuto nuova identità. Heinrich Kieber, l'ex dipendente della banca del Liechtenstein Lgt Group che ha venduto alla Germania, per oltre quattro milioni di euro, le informazioni su centinaia di evasori fiscali tedeschi, ha ricevuto nel frattempo dai servizi segreti anche una nuova identità. Lo scrive il settimanale Der Spiegel confermando che anche gli Usa - oltre al Regno Unito - hanno acquistato le informazioni della talpa del Liechtenstein.
Il materiale venduto alla Germania, rivela lo Spiegel, contiene informazioni su un totale di 4.527 fondazioni e cosiddetti istituti (entità legali caratteristiche del principato). Di queste, 1.400 sono di proprietà di investitori tedeschi. Inoltre, il settimanale rivela che le informazioni vanno dagli anni Settanta al 2003, ma in alcuni casi fino al 2005, e che circa 65 fondazioni erano ancora attive nel 2008. In particolare, oltre la metà degli investitori e circa 3.100 tra fondazioni e istituti - scrive sempre il settimanale - sono stranieri. Alcuni fanno parte della criminalità organizzata nei Balcani e in Russia, incluse società «molto conosciute» e altre «relativamente sconosciute». Ed è proprio a causa della presenza di nomi legati alla criminalità organizzata che secondo gli 007 tedeschi la vita di Kieber è in pericolo.
Lo scandalo si allarga alla Gran Bretagna. Intanto, lo scandalo si allarga alla Gran Bretagna, ma non solo. La notizia che anche Londra ha comprato (dallo stesso informatore) una lista contente nomi di ricchi britannici che avrebbero evaso il fisco grazie alle fondazioni del Liechtenstein è di ieri, mentre in Germania non è escluso che nella rete possa finire anche qualche politico.
Sui conti segreti in Liechtenstein e altro - Parte 3
- Dall'articolo "Angela Merkel urges Monaco to be more transparent over taxes Foreign staff" (The Times, 23 febbraio 2008):
Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, will urge Prince Albert of Monaco to boost transparency at his state's secretive financial institutions when he visits Berlin next week.
Liechtenstein came under fire in Germany after prosecutors announced last week that they were investigating hundreds of people suspected of dodging German taxes by parking money in secret bank accounts in the principality.
German officials have pointed out that Monaco and Andorra are also on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) blacklist of unco-operative tax havens. Thomas Steg, a German government spokesman, said: “The Chancellor ... will make clear that we also expect Monaco to co-operate and to accept the OECD standards on transparency, information exchange and fair behaviour in taxing.”
Ms Merkel's Government has said that it prefers European and international mechanisms to curb money laundering, fraud and unfair tax competition. Peer Steinbrück, the Finance Minister, said Germany might consider bilateral measures. “You could imagine, for example, that all transactions might be subject to an obligation to report,” he said. Money transferred to Liechtenstein could also be taxed at source, he said.
Sui conti segreti in Liechtenstein e altro - Parte 2
- Dall'articolo "Liechtenstein, "talpa" vende nomi possessori conti segreti al fisco inglese, tedesco e americano" (Il Messaggero, 24 febbraio 2008):
La notizia ha causato sicuramente qualche batticuore: il fisco inglese ha comprato per 100mila sterline (130mila euro) una lista con i nomi di un centinaio di possessori di conti segreti nelle banche del Liechtenstein. Lo scrive il Sunday Times, affermando che la lista è stata venduta da una talpa che nel gennaio 2007 ha già passato ai servizi segreti della Germania i nominativi di 750 tedeschi con conti aperti nella stessa banca del Liechtenstein, in cambio di quattro milioni di euro. La talpa avrebbe tentato la stessa operazioni con Stati Uniti, Canada, Australia e Francia, riuscendo a vendere la sua "merce" soltanto agli americani. L'informatore, secondo il giornale inglese, sarebbe un cinquantenne Heinrich Kieber, ex-impiegato di LGT Group, «banca appartenente alla famiglia Alois».
