Offshore - Elmer und das Bankgeheimnis

This doc by Werner Schweizer tells the story of Rudolf Elmer, a man who has had a remarkable career at a Swiss private bank. Since his employer and the Swiss authorities showed no interest in investigating dubious bank transactions, Elmer turned to Wikileaks with sensitive customer data. The conflict of conscience that turned him into a whistleblower and critic of the offshore banking business resulted in 220 days in custody. OFFSHORE - ELMER AND THE SWISS BANK SECRECY tells the dramatic story of a lone fighter with deep insights into the history and operations of offshore financial centres and the Swiss banking system.
