Court finds culprit for Luxleaks scandal: The journalist who broke the story

On 23 April 2015, a court in Luxembourg charged a French journalist behind the revealing of the so-called LuxLeaks scandal that implicated the small European country in lowering tax rates for multinationals.

A court source confirmed that the French journalist is Edouard Perrin, who first broke the story in 2012 in a programme on the state-owned France 2 TV station.
