The indictment of the accused, whose identity was not disclosed, follows the complaint against the X audit firm PWC-Luxembourg had filed in June 2012, after discovering the theft of documents during a television France 2 report, a month earlier.
THE ADVISED LIVES IN FRANCE
This report devoted to tax evasion in the Grand Duchy revealed the existence of hundreds of tax agreements between the administration of direct contributions from Luxembourg and subsidiaries multinationals, allowing the latter to pay almost no taxes.
According to the leaders of PWC-Luxembourg, the theft was committed in September 2010 by a former employee of the firm, which had copied confidential data without being spotted, for nearly two years. The newspaper Luxemburger Wort indicates that the man , who lives in France, was summoned as part of a commission, heard by the judge for a few hours and charged, before being released.
SE JUNCKER DEFENDS ALWAYS
After the complaint, a judicial inquiry was opened by the prosecutor of Luxembourg. The investigation was relaunched in November after revelations LuxLeaks by the consortium of investigative journalists ICIJ which Le Monde participated. The revelations relate to tax agreements between Luxembourg and 340 multinationals, including Apple, Amazon, Ikea, Pepsi, Heinz, Verizon and AIG, to minimize their taxes. Tuesday, on the eve of the swearing in of the new President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, new information particular to Skype groups, Walt Disney and Koch Industries were released.
Mr. Juncker was Prime Minister of Luxembourg where such agreements were entered into by the Grand Duchy of tax administration. He keeps promising last month to strengthen the fight against tax evasion and tax fraud, and again said this week that “tax harmonization” was “absolute necessity “ not to be ” subject to the will of the groups that are trying to evade taxes “.
