HSBC whistleblower claims work ‘not done yet’

Herve Falciani, a former HSBC employee who leaked information on the bank’s clients and tax situation, has told Spanish newspaper El Mundo he had knowledge of other cases and could act again, adding his “work was not done”.

Mr Falciani previously said media leaks on HSBC accounts held in Switzerland, which unleashed a public storm around the British bank, were “only the tip of the iceberg”, and that tax authorities had access to a lot more data.

The former IT worker at HSBC’s Swiss subsidiary hinted in the interview yesterday that he could make more revelations.
