be about elmer's motivations in all this why do you think he turned to the internet and not. to the police to the swiss authorities if you think it's many think you should have done. well i think the facts speak for themselves the swiss authorities have a very strong vested interest in making sure that switzerland is seen to be a very good place to keep your money secret i mean we've had this whole business that for years of numbered bank accounts what on earth is that about a numbered bank account why should anyone need one the idea of course is that people are manipulated if only for example trying to hide their identity if if say for example a hitman is hired obviously the thing to do is to use a number bank account to hire that this is outrageous and i think the swiss have really got to get their act in order and hopefully this case will force them to do that but the other issue about this case of course is the time element started leaking data we approximately three years ago but he only goes on trial now why is that is it purely coincidence that it's hot on the heels of
