My father promised all sorts of people that they would inherit something from him. Among them were people who had good connections to various authorities.
When he died, these people came away empty-handed, as is often the case in families. Shortly before death, people tend to remember their closest relatives, such as their wife or son.
That's normal.
But a few people believed they had a right to inherit because my father was a *&?@!!! May God rest his soul...
Filled with deep hatred, they used their connections. One distant relative in particular, who works or worked for the tax office, caused me a lot of trouble by actually sending me a reminder for a million pounds.
One of her colleagues obviously realised that this was a personal act of revenge. The letter was withdrawn and the proceedings were dropped.
But that wasn't enough. In a further move, the lady sent a list of my accounts to another tax office. I had moved in the meantime, so she wanted to report me to my new place of residence. But that was also unsuccessful. One account no longer existed. Other accounts yielded no or only minimal interest (0.5%).
The particularly ‘questionable’ accounts in Switzerland were even charged negative interest. An experienced tax expert should have known that.
Another shot in the dark!
But I think that when civil servants use their connections to take revenge on others, that is the lowest of the low and the worst kind of bullying!
