New Delhi: Making public the list of foreign account holders handed to the apex court would violate the tax treaties, India has signed with other nations and could sabotage the investigations to unearth black money, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Sunday.

"An unauthorized disclosure of information is fraught with both investigation and economic consequences. They can sabotage the investigation. They can attract sanctions in the form of withholding taxes," he said in a Facebook post titled "Confidentiality clauses and the battle for tracing black money outside India".
