WikiLeaks empowered with Swiss Bank mystery

London, Jan 18: A former Swiss Bank executive, Rudolf Elmer empowered Whistleblower WikiLeaks by rendering two CDs containing details of more than 2000 Swiss bank accounts.

During a press conference in London on Jan 17, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claimed, "He (Elmer) is clearly a bona fide whistleblower...We have some kind of duty to support him in that matter."

The ex-banker in his reply stated that the disks contain proof that 40 politicians and several multinational companies are guilty of tax evasion.

However, Assange also confirmed that the website will expose the truth after verifying all data that the CDs contained.

Elmer, who worked for Julius Bar, is one of the first whistleblowers who supplied his client secret data to Wikileaks in 2007 and he will face trial in Switzerland on Jan 19 over the issue of transfering data to the whistleblower.
