Rudolf Elmer, the former employee of Julius Baer Group Ltd. accused of revealing details of client accounts via WikiLeaks, collapsed at the start of his trial, forcing the court to postpone the case.
It was not clear when the trial in Zurich District Court would continue. Proceedings had been under way less than two hours when Elmer collapsed during a recess after repeatedly telling the judges he wasn’t feeling well. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
