Earlier this week, Rudolf Elmer handed new data to WikiLeaks in the UK before heading back to Switzerland for his sentencing. Elmer was found guilty of breaking Swiss banking laws, but was only fined. BBC:
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).
But he rejected prosecution demands to give Elmer an eight-month prison sentence.
Elmer also said that he had handed confidential Julius Baer banking files to tax authorities, and later the Wikileaks website run by Julian Assange, because he had wanted to expose tax evasion by businessmen and politicians.
