A German businessman has admitted dodging taxes in a case the government hopes will increase pressure on havens such as Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Former Deutsche Post chief Klaus Zumwinkel admitted failing to pay almost one million euros in tax payments. His Liechtenstein trust was uncovered when the government paid an informant for a bank disk containing his name and others. Zumwinkel told a packed court room. "This was the biggest mistake of my life. I'm ready to answer for it -- I want to clean the slate." Sonia Legg reports.
