Publisher's Synopsis
Who is protected by Swiss bank customer confidentiality clauses? What top secrets are hidden behind the digital accounts? The three journalists worked with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and 150 journalists from around the world, including the Guardian and Le Monde, to bring these abuses to light. But they realized that Switzerland had restricted press freedom to protect bank secrets and threatened investigators with imprisonment. The investigation, which was completed under the highest international secrecy, was politically explosive, revealing the story behind the scenes of the financial system and exposing the truth about Swiss credit to the world for the first time.
