But the Swiss Post’s financial arm, Postfinance, immediately shut down the bank account set up by Assange after it determined the “Australian citizen provided false information regarding his place of residence during the account opening process.” Postfinance spokesman Alex Josty told the AP the account was closed Monday afternoon and an undetermined amount of money would be returned to Assange, who faced no further consequences after claiming he lived in Geneva but offering no proof.
“One of the most fascinating aspects of the #Cablegate exposure is how it is throwing into relief the power dynamics between supposedly independent states like Switzerland, Sweden and Australia,” his law firm said. “The technicality used to seize the defense fund was that Mr. Assange, as a homeless refugee attempting to gain residency in Switzerland, had used his lawyer’s address in Geneva for the bank’s correspondence.”
