0
A new set of data with details of supposed tax evaders has reportedly been offered to German establishment in the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Bertram Dornheim, a spokesman for the state's Finance Ministry, which was contacted by the informant contribution the new data, could not confirm how many Swiss accounts were involved, nor whether the informer had asked for a fee for the information.

But he did say that the informant had supplied establishment with samples of data on potential tax cheats last year and had now "supplied additional, substantial quantity of data."

He added that the "potentially very interesting" in order was currently being examined.

The Frankfurter Rundschau daily reported that the new disk restricted information on around 2,000 German investor holding accounts in Switzerland. The newspaper reported that many of the financial records were with Swiss lenders UBS and Credit Suisse.

The new data comes to light a day after the German administration said it would pay 2.5 million euros ($3.4 million) for a potentially stolen CD containing information on 1,500 investors with Swiss bank accounts.
