By way of background about this prestigious prize:

We have have written about Deltour’s case of late; read more about Gibaud’s case here. An excerpt:

“I didn’t know that the information in my possession was sensitive. I turned to my superiors in the bank. They told me that I was tired, that I should take some holiday, that I didn’t have all the facts. . . They harassed me in order to break me.“

Good luck to ’em.
