German chancellor Angela Merkel (R) and Liechtenstein's Head of Government Otmar Hasler leave after a welcome ceremony in Berlin February 20, 2008. Liechtenstein has come under fire in Germany after prosecutors announced last week they were investigating hundreds of people suspected of dodging German taxes by parking money in secret bank accounts in the principality. The probe, which has involved raids of homes and offices across Germany, has already led to the resignation of Deutsche Post Chief Executive Klaus Zumwinkel and threatens to claim other high-profile victims.
