Swiss police have re-arrested a former banker on fresh charges of breaching¹ bank secrecy² laws by passing data to whistleblowers' website WikiLeaks.

瑞士警方再次逮捕一位前银行家，他涉嫌违反银行安全法向维基泄密网站传送数据。

Rudolf Elmer was re-arrested just hours after being found guilty of breaching secrecy laws
Only hours earlier Rudolf Elmer was found guilty by a Zurich court of breaching another bank secrecy law.

Elmer, 55, was fined more than 6,000 Swiss francs ($6,250; £4,000) but escaped prosecution³ demands for a prison sentence.

He had said the leaks were to expose tax evasion⁴ by the rich.

"The state prosecutor⁵'s office is checking to see whether Rudolf Elmer has violated Swiss banking⁶ law by handing the CD over to WikiLeaks," the Zurich cantonal（市区的，州的） (state) police and prosecutor said in a joint⁷ statement on the latest arrest.

Earlier on Wednesday, a Zurich court found Elmer guilty of breaching banking secrecy on publicising private client data.

He was also found guilty of threatening an employee at his former bank, the Swiss firm Julius Baer.

Elmer said he first leaked private bank details about Baer clients to WikiLeaks three years ago.

He said on Monday that he had given fresh data to the website.

Julian Assange, WikiLeak's founder⁸, said he will publish the new information within weeks, once it has been checked.
