Read it:

Luxembourg, a Grand Duchy of 680,000 people, holds eight trillion euros in funds and has spent a century selling discretion. This book follows what that discretion bought: tax rulings stamped the day they arrived, a clearing house accused and never tried, funds that sent European savings to Madoff, a private bank convicted over Malaysia's stolen millions, a notary who approved what she should have refused, a secret service that recorded its own prime minister, bombings no court has solved, and a charity emptied of 61 million euros in five months. Covers PricewaterhouseCoopers and the tax official Marius Kohl, Clearstream and Denis Robert, UBS and LuxAlpha, Edmond de Rothschild (Europe) and 1MDB, Caritas and the fraud that emptied it, Flavio Becca and his watches, and Mikhail Fridman and the Luxembourg state.
