Our sources put the blame on neither. Indeed, it is starting to emerge that attempts to leak information to Germany before were ignored by the government.\u00a0Several times a whistleblower attempted to provide information to the Minister of Finance. The whistleblower wanted to expose questionable dealings of the Bundesdruckerei which is a state owned company with one of the longest histories in the business, dating as far back as the 18th century. The German government took over Bundesdruckerei as a wholly state-owned company. In recent years, however, the company has been transformed into a leading international Full ID |\u00a0Management supplier.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/armstrongmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sch%C3%A4uble.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-49500\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49500 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/armstrongmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sch%C3%A4uble.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armstrongmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sch%C3%A4uble-300x221.jpg 300x, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sch%C3%A4uble-768x566.jpg 768x, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sch%C3%A4uble-180x133.jpg 180x, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sch%C3%A4uble-600x442.jpg 600x, https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Sch%C3%A4uble.jpg 849x\" alt=\"Sch\u00e4uble\" width=\"443\" height=\"327\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiegel.de\/wirtschaft\/wolfgang-schaeuble-liess-panama-papers-informanten-abblitzen-a-1086215.html\" target=\"_blank\">SPIEGEL<\/a>\u00a0is now reporting that the German Finance Minister\u00a0Wolfgang Schaeuble and his Secretary of StateWerner Gatzer have refused contact with a whistleblower for years. The Ministry of Finance assumed Bundesdruckerei had used this company to do business in Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that the\u00a0whistleblower is German.
