| Summary |
"Six years ago Heinrich Kieber was an obscure computer technician updating systems inside LGT, a bank owned by the royal family of tiny Liechtenstein. Now he’s attracted international fame, fortune and alleged death threats as a whistleblower, after making off with 12,000 pages of LGT documents that set out its clients’ extremely private financial affairs in embarrassing and often incriminating detail. Kieber sold the data to German authorities for about $6 million. Now hundreds of Germany’s richest are being investigated for their tax affairs. Jail may await some. And a posse of western governments, including Australia, are tracking the fortunes that their wealthy citizens stashed behind the secret walls of Liechtenstein’s banks. Four Corners tells the remarkable story of Heinrich Kieber – roguish hero to some, amoral thief to others - and the worldwide fallout from his actions. As Four Corners reports, a rare spotlight has now been thrown on the devices Liechtenstein uses to keep its clients’ affairs away from the tax man." -- Four corners website |
