The man who sold the information at the center of the Liechtenstein tax evasion case is on the run from Interpol and in hiding.

From the International Herald Tribune:

In 2004, Heinrich Kieber told a Viennese criminal psychologist that he no longer held the keys to the kingdom of Liechtenstein, one of the world’s leading purveyors of shadowy private-banking services to the wealthy.

But Kieber’s assertion - that he had returned all of the confidential client data he stole in 2002 from LGT, the financial fortress owned by the Liechtenstein royal family - was not true.

“At the time, we all trusted him,” said Wolfgang Müller, his lawyer in Vaduz at the time, whose fees were paid by a worried LGT. “But he made a copy.”

Kieber, who is in hiding after selling copies to several foreign governments, is now wanted by Interpol. A former data-entry clerk at LGT, he has spawned one of the biggest private-banking scandals in years.

Nearly a dozen global tax agencies, including the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, are using the treasure trove to step up their scrutiny of former LGT clients.
