Glencore loses bid to stop Australian tax office using ‘Paradise Papers’

Global commodity miner and trader Glencore on Wednesday lost its case to stop Australian tax authorities using business information that was leaked as part of the so-called Paradise Papers.

Glencore had argued that information revealed by the Paradise Papers – a leaked dossier that included information on clients of the Appleby law firm in Bermuda – should not be available to tax authorities as the information had been stolen.
