Speaking on public broadcaster ZDF on Monday evening, Schaeuble said, "We can't do the opposite of what we did two years ago." He admitted that it was not an easy decision to make, but after a careful analysis of the situation, he had decided that the government should be consistent with the line taken in 2007.
Two years ago, the German government handed over as much as five million euros for a CD apparently containing the data of hundreds of Germans who kept bank accounts in Liechtenstein to avoid paying tax. No court has ever called the legality of the government's actions into question, Schaeuble pointed out. Типа мы уже один раз купили украденное, и нам понравилось.
