Heinrich Kieber
Heinrich Kieber is known for his role as a whistleblower in a significant tax evasion scandal involving a Liechtenstein bank and its associated trust company. In 2008, he leaked sensitive client data that revealed the financial dealings of numerous German taxpayers who used offshore structures to conceal their wealth, leading to a major shift in German tax enforcement practices. Kieber's actions sparked a nationwide wave of self-reporting by taxpayers seeking to rectify their undisclosed offshore accounts, ultimately resulting in substantial tax revenue for the German government.
