I am also a lawyer, so I am very familiar with professional privilege.

If we suspect that something is not entirely aboveboard, we have several means at our disposal to collect information. I spoke about information exchanges with other countries, but as of next year, we will also have access to financial information. We are no longer limited to information protected by professional privilege. We have other means to obtain the information.
