One year after the Lux leaks scandal, what about the protection of
whistleblowers? That is the question protesters asked on November 5 in Brussels.
With Antoine Deltour, former PriceWaterhousecoopers employee and
French journalist Edouard Perrin facing hefty fines and prison sentences
for their role in Lux leaks, NGOS like Oxfam
and Eurodad are concerned. In what became known as the Lux Leaks,
Deltour brought almost 26,000 pages of documents to light that showed
how authorities in Luxembourg made secretive tax rulings with a number
of big companies. Edouard Perrin – who received the information – is
charged by Luxembourg for his alleged role in the second set of leaks. NGOs believe this is a direct threat against press freedom.
