Posted on October 1, 2010 by Dissent

Reuters is reporting:

A man held in connection with client data stolen from a bank and sold to German tax authorities has been found dead in prison, Swiss authorities said on Friday.

The 42-year-old man was found dead in his cell at Berne regional prison at around 0430 GMT on Wednesday, police said.

“Findings so far rule out third-party interference. It could be a case of suicide,” the Berne regional police said.
