Secret tax files leaked to south-eastern Switzerland

 An article in the Südostschweiz newspaper on Sunday about a major tax break for the family of Graubünden real estate entrepreneur Arnold Mathis has legal repercussions. The city of Chur has filed a criminal complaint against unknown persons. The newspaper reported, based on documents from the authorities, that the city of Chur and the canton of Graubünden had waived taxes for the Mathis family. According to the newspaper, the total amount is likely to have amounted to around two million francs, as the SDA news agency writes in a report. The mayor of Chur, Christian Boner, announced that the reporting in Südostschweiz gave rise to the well-founded suspicion that secret files from the city administration had been illegally leaked to the media. For this reason, the city council feels compelled to file a criminal complaint against unknown persons.
