Switzerland: Former Banker Is Charged
A Swiss prosecutor brought charges on Wednesday against Rudolf Elmer, a former banker in the Cayman Islands with the Swiss bank Julius Baer, saying he handed over confidential data to WikiLeaks’s founder, Julian Assange, and tried to pass on files to German officials.
Mr. Elmer has been under investigation since 2011 by Zurich prosecutors, who accuse him of forgery and breaching banking secrecy laws. Mr. Elmer has said in the past he wants to draw attention to financial abuses.
