Its difficult to be filthy rich and honest.
Switzerland is pretty strict about domestic tax evasion. Yo have to be able to provide your business records for the last 10 years. Most countries i know of, it is about 5.
Well at least he didn’t steal from France this time, way to go Castel!
The Swiss authorities are very welcoming to rich people coming here to avoid taxes in their homeland and pay taxes here instead. If you’re rich enough, you might even cut a special deal with them and pay even less.
There’s a few things the Swiss don’t like though. Don’t make a scene by being a rich asshole here. And don’t defraud the doemstic tax authorities or skip paying what you owe. They don’t take kindly to that. You best be rich, invisible, paying on time.
Seriously, we must have the world’s worst billionaires, they’re all rotten to the bone
Even de-industrialisation and de-localization in the 90s was largely a way to fuck the government over for being too socialist, and the rest of the French with it
