To the UK Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders:

A brave whistleblower has shown how HSBC has supported criminals and the super rich to hide their money and evade taxes, leaving the rest of us to pay our fair share for the public good. Now it’s up to you to close loopholes in our tax laws, and prosecute the bankers who have facilitated tax dodging and their clients who have enriched themselves at our expense.

End the global tax scam
Leaked documents have just revealed how British banking giant HSBC colluded with the world’s super-rich to hide their money and dodge their taxes. Politicians in London are about to let them get away with it, but this is our chance to end impunity for tax criminals!

Instead of paying their taxes like the rest of us, politicians, CEOs and even celebrities used secret Swiss bank accounts held with HSBC to keep their hands on billions that could have gone on health and education. If any of us had done this we’d face years in jail, but Britain’s government has given the bank a free pass, even making its former chairman a minister! 

Before the headlines fade, let's raise a giant global call to prosecute the bank’s executives. When we hit a million, we’ll deliver it straight to the UK’s director of prosecutions, and show up at HSBC's front door to perform citizen's arrests, to make clear that no-one is too big to jail. Add your name now!
