Luxleaks and the Good Faith Whistleblower
Abstract
The cassation trial in the « Luxleaks » case, in which whistleblower Antoine Deltour is challenging the Luxembourg Court of Appeal’s decision to convict him to a 12-month suspended sentence for having leaked 10.000 pages of documents about tax avoidance schemes in Luxembourg , is set to start on November 23. This trial will once again test the ability of the current case-law of the European Court of Human Rights to provide whistleblowers with effective protection.
