Germany is getting tough on tax evaders hot on the heels of Zumwinkel’s arrest. Much of the money is headed Liechtenstein, a haven for tax evaders because of its strict confidentiality laws.

But for now, Germany is sending in the big guns: secret agents to find out who is sending money to Liechtenstein without paying taxes.
