Rudolf Elmer, a former employee of Swiss-based Bank Julius Baer, said the account holders include “high net worth” celebrities, business leaders and lawmakers from the US, Britain and Asia.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange appeared alongside Elmer at London’s Frontline Club to collect the files, and praised the ex-banker’s attempts to expose alleged shady practices in the financial industry.

“We will treat this information like all other information we get so yes, I presume once we have looked at the data, assuming it is not anonymous, assuming it is like everything else we receive, yes there will be a full revelation,” sais Assange.

Assange said that, with his organisation focussed on the publication of its cache of about 250-thousand diplomatic cables, it could be several weeks before Elmer’s files are reviewed and posted in the WikiLeaks website.

Elmer, who has previously leaked banking documents to the secret-spilling site, told journalists that he wanted to expose the offshore banking system.

His decision to release the new files to WikiLeaks comes two days before he is due to appear before a Zurich regional court to answer charges of coercion and violating Switzerland’s strict banking secrecy laws.

Elmer said he would not reveal what specifically was in the documents, and said that he personally would not disclose “individual companies or individual names” of the account holders.
