Swiss banker who helped WikiLeaks faces trial (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110110/ap_on_bi_ge/eu_switzerland_wikileaks)

Just FYI,

GENEVA – A Swiss banker whose actions caused a U.S. judge to briefly shut down WikiLeaks three years ago goes on trial next week for distributing confidential documents.

Rudolf Elmer has been ordered to appear before a Zurich regional court on Jan. 19 to answer charges of coercion and violating Switzerland's strict banking secrecy laws. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to three years in prison and fined.
