people go on trial in Luxembourg on Tuesday over the so-called LuxLeaks scandal that exposed the country's huge tax breaks for major international companies Cheap Ondrej Pavelec Jersey , with the issue riding high after the recent Panama Papers revelations.


Two former employees at services firm PwC, Antoine Deltour and Raphael Halet, and journalist Edouard Perrin face charges over the leaking of thousands of documents that exposed the scandal.


The LuxLeaks affair erupted in November 2014, exposing deals that saved firms including Apple (LSE: 0R2V.L - news) , IKEA and Pepsi billions of dollars in taxes while European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker was Luxembourg's prime minister.


The deals emerged after a series of global news outlets examined 28 Cheap Nikolaj Ehlers Jersey ,000 pages of documents obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), revealing the full scale of the tax breaks won by 340 companies.


Former auditor Deltour is accused of stealing documents from the database of the accounting firm before he left in 2010, revealing business secrets, violation of professional secrets and money laundering.


The documents later became the basis of a story by Perrin on the state-owned France 2 TV station in 2012 but the story stayed under the international radar until the LuxLeaks document dump.


Perrin is charged with being an accomplice in all the offences, while Halet Cheap Bryan Little Jersey , accused of being behind a separate leak, faces the same charges as Deltour. All three of the accused are French.


Tax campaigners are expected to demonstrate outside the court in Luxembourg on Tuesday at the start of the hearing. The trial is expected to last until May 4.


Despite facing between five and 10 years in prison, Deltour insists he has no regrets.


"At first I was just an anonymous source, and then I found myself at the front of the stage," Deltour told AFP at his home in eastern France on the eve of the trial.
