LUXLEAKS TRIAL VERDICT LUXEMBOURG 29 JUNE 2016 A Luxembourg judge will deliver the verdict in the trial of two whistleblowers and a journalist in the so-called "LuxLeaks" tax scandal on 29 June 2016. Two former employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers have been accused of being behind the biggest ever leak of confidential corporate tax deals in Luxembourg history. Antoine Deltour and a second man, who is expected to be named in court this week, are charged with carrying out the LuxLeaks theft, violating the Grand Duchy’s strict professional secrecy laws and other offences. Their criminal prosecution follows a complaint to Luxembourg’s public prosecutor by PwC. The LuxLeaks scandal, which transformed the debate on international tax reform, exposed how Luxembourg had for years been secretly sanctioning, on an industrial scale, aggressive cross-border tax avoidance by some of the world’s largest businesses.
