Ex-PwC
Whistleblower
France
Websitehttps://support-antoine.org/en/
Antoine Deltour is the main whistleblower in LuxLeaks case. He worked as an auditor for PwC Luxembourg from 2008 to 2010. When he resigned, he copied hundreds of tax rulings that have lead, amongst other documents, to the so-called "Luxleaks scandal". The disclosure of large-scale tax avoidance practices fostered several initiatives for better tax justice. He was convicted by Luxembourg criminal court in June 2016. He received a 12-months suspended sentence but decided to appeal the judgment. The appeal trial ended on the 12th of January 2017 and the judgement will be announced on the 15th of March.
