In the movie "Inside Man," how did Clive Owen's character know?

I can't stop wondering (maybe I missed something), how did Clive Owen's character know that the banker was a war criminal and that he had those jewels and kept that paperwork identifying himself as a war criminal? How did he know it was kept at that bank and in a safety deposit box? Why wouldn't he have presumed it was kept at the man's home or his office? I can't see how I missed all this explanation of how he knew all this information. Did I fall asleep?

    The person who paid clive owen had been keeping tabs on this person since that time

    That information was obtained by the guy in the van that was part of the plan. Watch the movie again. It's worth it.

    I'm not a 100 % sure, but I don't think it was enclosed in the film. They never say specifically. You'll have to keep wondering. Sorry.
