I remember back in the days criminals and those evading tax used to put their money in swiss accounts as from what I could understand the police or taxman couldn't gain access to it. Now with the terrorist threats are these accounts still as secure against the police and taxmen as I would've thought that the police now could access any account if they suspected terrorist activity. Can anyone enlighten me on this please?

tax on £150
