Christoph Meili (born April 21, 1968) is a Swiss whistleblower. In early 1997, Meili worked as a night guard at the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS AG) in Zurich, Switzerland. He discovered that officials at UBS destroyed documents about orphaned assets, i.e., credit balances of deceased Jewish clients whose heirs' whereabouts were unknown. Destruction of such documents was a violation of Swiss laws. On January 8 1997, he took some bank files home. Wikipedia
