Lots of corruption in the higher levels of German companies lately. Siemens, and now Deutsche Post. Hundreds of others to be possibility implicated in this tax fraud round-up: http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/02/15/business/tax.php

I don't believe in breaking the law, but if I had to pay 60 -70% in Taxes I might think about tax evasion, or moving out of that socialist state.

Apparently, Dr Z. is not the only one. An article floating around say'd that "Hundreds" of people are involved in this round up of tax evaders. Z was just the highest profile type nabbed.
