New Delhi: Breaking its silence on the black money issue, the Swiss government on Wednesday dropped a bombshell saying that it is ready to share list of tax-evaders with India fast.
Swiss ambassador to India Phillipe Welti on Wednesday told Headlines Today, "We don't need the account number of the suspect Indians. Just give us the name. We can share the data fast."
This is a significant statement considering that the government has been hiding behind the procedural problems in seeking the list of Indians from Switzerland.
"Indian assets worth at least $two billion are parked in Swiss banks, according to our figures," the envoy told Foreign Affairs Editor Saurabh Shukla.
