German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz ordered the procurement of data on citizens of the country with assets in Dubai. So the government is going to fight tax evasion, reports Associated Press.
The Ministry of Finance reported that it received a CD disk with the data in this environment and studies it to calculate non-payers and make things on them.
“We use any tools to find tax shocks. With a new dataset, we highlighted dark corners in which criminals were still hiding from us,” said Scholz.
Negotiations with an anonymous source of purchase started in January, and the deal for undisclaimed amount was concluded in February and until now held it in secret.
The redemption of the data of German non-payers finishes the elections that will be held on September 26. Also, Vice-Chancellor Scholz was also running out of the Social Democratic Party (SDPG) and will qualify for the post of head of the government of Germany.
In 2012, the ally of Scholts in the party Norbert Walter-Boryans has already missed the data from the banks of German depositors than the power of Switzerland.
