<p>The banker who claims to have handed WikiLeaks details of rich tax evaders has been found guilty of breaking Switzerland&#8217;s strict banking secrecy laws.</p>
<p>A judge at Zurich&#8217;s Regional Court fined Rudolf Elmer 6,000 Swiss francs (£3,750).</p>
<p>Elmer claimed at the one-day trial in the country&#8217;s banking capital that he acted after being persecuted by his former employer Julius Baer.</p>
<p>He also claimed to have wanted to expose widespread tax evasion by rich businesspeople and politicians when he sent confidential banking files to tax authorities, media and later WikiLeaks.</p>
<p>Judge Sebastian Aeppli rejected prosecution demands to give Elmer an eight-month prison sentence.</p>
