Swiss banker linked to Wikileaks is found guilty
A former Swiss banker who said he gave Wikileaks details of rich tax evaders has been found guilty of breaching Switzerland's strict bank secrecy laws.
A judge in Zurich did so even though the leaked documents referred to accounts in the Cayman Islands.
Judge Sebastian Aeppli fined Rudolf Elmer, 55, more than 6,000 Swiss francs ($6,250; £4,000).
