Liechtenstein's head of state Prince Alois gestures during an interview in the Vaduz castle, home of the Liechtenstein family on August 14, 2009. Liechtenstein raised the gate on its tax-haven fortress on August 11, making a deal enabling Britain to snare about 5,000 British accounts holders with up to 3.0 billion pounds in secret deposits. The principality gave way to international pressure and announced earlier this year that it would ease strict banking secrecy rules and offer more assistance on matters involving tax offences.
