Nick Shaxson ■ Quote of the day – Luxembourg and the drugs trade
From a Guardian story about the ICIJ Luxembourg story that’s broken today:
“Asked recently if such a crackdown risked damaging the economy of Luxembourg, one senior figure closely involved in the G20 reform programme said: “I don’t care. It is like saying: ‘If you fight drugs there will be no jobs in certain parts of Mexico.’”
Well put.
