Once again, the last September the National Court refused to extradite Falciani to Switzerland, a country which demands him to spend five year in jail for a supposed crime of “worsen financial spying”, which does not appear in the Spanish penal code. In December 2008, Falciani got hold of the information of 120.000 clients of HSBC which had been used in several cases of fiscal offences. He then put this information in the hands of justice and French tax entities. His contribution made recovery of more than 250 million euros hidden to Treasury possible.

In his conference, which will be held in the hall of Gregori Maians library in Tarongers campus, Falciani will speak about security, responsibility and respect in the legality of digital finances. He will also present his anti-fraud project applied to cryptocurrency. Now a worldwide icon in the fight against financial fraud, he currently works as an advisor in strategic projects and he is present of Tactical Whistleblower (Taboow.org).
