In Zwendel, the dark world of money-grabbers in tailor-made suits is exposed. Many scams take place in the countries of Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Panama and there are many avenues for tax fraud. These are also called the tax havens of the world. The Cayman Islands and the Netherlands Antilles are also among them roadside paradises. In this intriguing book, fraudsters provide compelling evidence that there are many clever ways to scam us all. For example, the Vatican bank was a professional in money laundering. The Vatican did not appear in court, so the Italian mafia took the law into its own hands. This book makes it clear what the government's role is in these types of gigantic fraudulent cases.
