This quarterly column provides readers with a concise and practical overview of current issues involving criminal tax law. In this latest installment, we will review the issue of rewarding tax whistleblowers (section 1), the recent case law over attorney-client privilege, whether relating to defence proceedings or to legal advice, in on-site searches and dawn raids in criminal proceedings (section 2), and the latest developments in a major tax fraud case that recently resulted, on appeal, in the acquittal of certain defendants and the conviction of a tax lawyer (section 3).
