In St. Lucia, it is an offence punishable by fine or imprisonment for a bank or trust officer to divulge personal details about a customer without his express permission. At any rate the affairs of an offshore company can only be enquired into where its principal is found guilty of a criminal offence in his country of residence and that offence is an offence for which he would have been criminally liable in the offshore jurisdiction had the same been committed there.
