‘With this new information, we are highlighting the black areas where the taxpayers have already arrived,’ said German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz.
Germany’s finance minister has ordered the purchase of German property in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, as part of a tax evasion campaign, following a sale by Swiss regional executives a decade ago.
The Ministry of Finance said in a statement that the report would be sent to the Treasurer’s Office on Wednesday to review the status of the case.
“We are using every means at our disposal to justify tax evasion,” Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said in a statement. “With this new data, we are highlighting black areas where taxpayers have already arrived.”
Negotiations with an anonymous anonymous person were launched in January and the purchase of an undisclosed amount was made in February, although it has been announced so far.
The vote comes ahead of the German election on September 26 when Scholz, who is also a staunch supporter of the outgoing government, is being selected by Social Democrats to replace Angela Merkel as German chancellor. Although Scholz is highly respected, his party did not run in the by-elections.
One of Scholz’s party leaders, Norbert Walter-Borjans, bought a series of CDs containing data on Swiss clients during his tenure as German finance minister in North Rhine-Westphalia, between 2010 and 2017. Switzerland showed resentment at those movements.
Der Spiegel magazine also reported for the first time that the purchase of a CD containing material in Dubai such as the location and sale of German citizens.
He also said an unidentified man approached German authorities and volunteered to deliver the message, which the Federal Tax Office paid about $ 2 million ($ 2.42m), Spiegel said.
Tax collectors in 16 German states had previously sought information from countries such as Switzerland to determine the best possible German wealthy.
