The German intelligence service paid £3.75 million to an informant for a confidential, possibly stolen, list of German account holders at a bank in the tax haven of Liechtenstein.
The cloak and dagger tactics were used to secure information needed to catch 700 suspects implicated in the country's biggest tax fraud.
Members of Germany's economic elite are suspected of salting away £3 billion in total.
Dawn raids were mounted on homes and offices in Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg last week. Klaus Zumwinkel, the boss of Deutsche Post and president of the supervisory board of Deutsche Telekom, was the first high-profile victim of the scandal.
