Switzerland has reportedly published the names of foreigners wanted
for tax frauds after requests from Russia, France, Germany, India and
other countries. This may mark the end of Swiss bank privacy tradition,

The data will be publicly available on the Internet, which will allow the people on the list to protest the publication in court.
Banks have little interest in seeking customers who no longer keep their accounts in Switzerland, said Alexandre Dumas, a Swiss federal tax authority official.
