New Delhi, December 4: Wikileaks founder Julien Assange has once again made a sensational claim that can increase trouble for Indians, holding black money in foreign banks. He has said that the names of Indians holding Swiss bank accounts will be revealed by Wikileaks in 2012 PTI reported.

Julien Assange, who is under house arrest in the UK, said this on Saturday through videoconferencing during a conference held in Delhi , that whistleblower Rudolf Elmer, who passed CDs containing information to him, is undergoing trial and it would not be proper to make disclosures at this juncture.

Asked if names of Indians holding Swiss accounts will be revealed in the coming year, he said, "yes".

Information about such accounts "which will affect India" will be revealed in the coming year, he said.He said since Elmer was jailed and facing legal action, he would not like to comment on the issue at the moment.

"For that reason, unfortunately, I cannot speak about information related to Swiss accounts in great detail. we must protect our people," he added.

Assange said governments in some countries are "sucking out" data from emails and internet transactions and passing on this "economic intelligence" to companies like Wal-Mart. He made some startling revelations about "hacking" and "hijacking" of data of unsuspecting people.

Assange had earlier claimed that Indians have the largest amount of black money in Swiss Banks. Rudolf Elmer provided the list of famous Indians to Wikileaks.

However, afterwards Wikileaks officially declared this list as fake.

He also revealed that black money was started depositing in Swiss Banks in early 70s by some of the names of India through illegal mining, stock market, drug dealing, fake projects etc.

After leaking classified documents about the US, Iraq and Afghanistan, Wikileaks has dropped eight bombs on India in the last three days as the UPA is running for cover.
