Hervé Falciani, the IT specialist formerly employed by the Swiss branch of HSBC, has provided the Spanish government with a new list of Spanish citizens with Swiss bank accounts. This follows an initial spreadsheet with details of 130,000 accounts, which he handed over to authorities in Madrid in 2009.
Members of the ruling People’s Party linked to the Gürtel corruption scandal are apparently mentioned in the latest list.
The first “Falciani list” enabled the Spanish government to recover €300m between 2010 and 2011, and this amount could be tripled by the latest disclosure, says the newspaper.
