From Richard Brooks, a flippant but telling tweet:
Packed courtroom for #luxleaks trial with around 50 journalists or, as we're known in Luxembourg, criminals.

Who is in the dock? The whistleblowers? Or the tax haven of Luxembourg and PWC, the multinational that has been behind this trial?
The Global Alliance for Tax Justice has an article entitled Tell Luxembourg: Don’t jail whistleblower “heroes”. Also see, from Transparency International: “LuxLeaks: Whistleblowers like Antoine Deltour should be celebrated,” or “LuxLeaks whistleblower should be celebrated and protected, not prosecuted, says Oxfam“
Also note our recent blog on the European Trade Secrets Directive, which will make it easy to pursue whistleblowers in future.
