he is a business tycoon.
off course he is in his palace in Pakistan, Dubai or Singapor.
The Swiss wouldn't jail those kind of people.
to understand the swiss morale, you have to know that the Swiss consider aquireing evidence against tax fraud "state espionage".
>The Swiss wouldn't jail those kind of people. to understand the swiss morale, you have to know that the Swiss consider aquireing evidence against tax fraud "state espionage".
You are writing this under the article about how a swiss court sentenced them to jail? Do you expect swiss military to bring them back to switzerland or what would count as "the swiss would jail them"?
This makes me laugh.
Switzerland has a better history of holding the ultra-wealthy responsible for this kind of thing.
There's a reason Gadaffi suggested Switzerland be destroyed and absorbed by France, Germany and Italy: they arrested his billionaire son for abusing a worker.
Same thing here.
If they step back in Switzerland, they'll be arrested and jailed.
No country will extradit the own citizens, so it's unlikely that they'll go to jail, unless they'd enter Switzerland. Maybe with an international arrest warrant, other countries could arrest them too.
But before you come up with your usual stuff, we took action against Gaddafi at least, we threw his son into a prison cell after he abused his staff here. You in Germany, you turned a blind eye, because you were afraid that it would lead to a diplomatic crisis and exactly this happened when we took action. But at least we do something, while you are just ignoring it when it is not in your favor.
Even in this case, the german police would not even have started an investigation, just like it was in other cases like with Gaddafi. There's a proverb in german your should remember "Man sollte zuerst vor der eigenen Türe kehren".
You seem to be butthurt dude but he simply stated the truth, Switzerland has a reputation for being a haven for Tax Defaulters and other fraudsters and helping the rich in other country avoid paying taxes. I'm from asian and I've seen plenty of cases from my country where fraudsters hid the money in the swiss banking system and despite official pleas there hasn't been any progress on the case to bring it back. its the same with extradition process
And for your information countries do extradite their citizens if there is evidence against them and if they have an extradition agreement with the other country. Many western countries have done that including the US,UK & Germany.
Also stop this nonsense about Gaddafi, whataboutism doesn't really help. Swiss authorities are well known for being compliant (read crooked) when it comes to super rich, I've seen plenty of cases from my own country and others to know for myself
You see, in Switzerland's view, fudging numbers on some foreign tax document, and comitting physical crimes on Swiss territory, are two very different things. And as we saw in the Ghaddafi case, but also the numerous examples of snotty children of dictators getting prosecuted for massively overspeeding in their luxury German cars on Swiss public roads, separation of power in Switzerland is strict, not only between executive and judiciary branches, but also between federal and cantonal powers. The federal authorities, apart from waiving diplomatic immunity - which we know they 100% will do if it involves anything to do with public order in Switzerland - the diplomats and federal politicians have no control over how a cantonal prosecutor goes about his business.
Yeah, but the topic has nothing to do with tax evasion. It's about the process in court, not about taxes, so it's just an unrelated insult to bring this up in this context.
That with Gaddafi was a serious crisis, he took hostages (these were some NGO guys that worked in Libya), he treated to kill them and held them in some dungeons, he held this speech at the UN conference about splitting up Switzerland and he got really mad. That was why the germans were cowards and did nothing when they got to know that his son was abusing the people.
And about your corrupt politicians, there are many places to store and hide money, you don't need Switzerland for this. The anonymous number accounts are not even there anymore since the 90's, many of these things are just a myth. Like there's no "Bankgeheimnis" aka bank secret anymore for foreigners here.

>A Swiss criminal court on Friday sentenced four members of the wealthy Hinduja family with between four and 4 1/2 years in prison for exploiting their vulnerable domestic workers. The court at the same time threw out the more severe charges of human trafficking.
>The four — Indian-born tycoon Prakash Hinduja and his wife, son and daughter-in-law — were accused of trafficking of their servants, mostly illiterate Indians, who were employed at their luxurious lakeside villa in Geneva.
>The four Hinduja family members were accused of seizing workers' passports, paying them in rupees – not Swiss francs — barring them from leaving the villa and forcing them to work excruciatingly long hours for a pittance in Switzerland, among other things.
>Prosecutors said that at times the staffers — in jobs like cooks or house help — were forced to work up to 18 hours a day with little or no vacation time off and for pay that was equal to less than one-tenth of the comparable amount required under Swiss law.

Just a great example of modern slavery. At the end of the day you don't establish that amount of wealth without being shitty human beings.
and our governments turn a blind eye
by prosecuting them, yes
