European court rules in favour of whistleblower in Luxembourg leaks case

PARIS (Reuters) -The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday ruled in favour of a former employee of accounting firm PwC, saying his 2016 conviction for leaking data about Luxembourg's tax deals with large corporations violated his right to freedom of expression.

The case revolved around confidential data used in the high-profile "LuxLeaks" revelations by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in November 2014.
