> I'm not aware of any Western European political dissidents who have had bank accounts cancelled It’s not the same but it’s on its way there - in New Zealand Nicky Hagar wrote Dirty Politics - shady deals and hatchet jobs being performed by a sleazy blog at the behest of politicians (primarily the current leader of New Zealand’s largest opposition party, Judith Collins). Under political pressure to act, police asked Westpac bank for 10 months of Hager's bank records and received them, falsely claiming he was being investigated for fraud. They did not have a warrant. The whole disgusting episode was made farcical by the later revelation that police had searched Hagars house but missed documents leaked by Snowden. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/police-pay-nicky-hager-substan... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Politics |
