LGT Group, the Liechtenstein bank owned by the principality's ruling 
family, said records stolen and passed to German tax authorities contain 
data from 1,400 clients as the probe widened to the U.K.

The documents, including bank information from 600 Germans, were stolen in 
2002 and no later data was given to authorities, the Vaduz, 
Liechtenstein-based bank said in an e-mailed statement. The foundations 
listed in the stolen records had 4,527 beneficiaries, the bank said.

The U.K.'s tax collection department confirmed that it was investigating

investigators have begun 700 individual preliminary proceedings, 
Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported.
