Date for Ansbacher publication to be announced today

The director of corporate enforcement is today expected to announce a date for the publication of the long-awaited report into alleged tax evasion through the Ansbacher Bank.

The report was originally due to be published today, but Paul Appleby told the High Court last week that printing difficulties had caused a delay.

Mr Appleby is expected to tell the court today that the report will be available publicly on Thursday or Friday.

The Ansbacher report is the culmination of a three-year investigation and is believed to contain 200 names linked to the alleged tax evasion.
