      Just when you thought the international debate about evidence on illicit financial flows was getting a bit better. ...🙄 Christian Aid remains trapped in a narrative that undermines democratic accountabilityhttps://twitter.com/CA_global/status/1177130861101293568 …

      $416 billion? Gaps and mismatches in trade data =/= trade mispricing. Also putting Russia in the "global South" is unusual.pic.twitter.com/zqv8FsUPPR

      You don't believe these numbers. I don't believe these numbers. No one believes these numbers. But organisations have fallen into a trap of using them, and just can't seem to get out. @MattiKohonen @TobyQuantrill1 @AttiyaWaris @neetibiyani @sorleymccaughey

      Just to take one example i know to illustrate the problem with this. They cite FQM in Zambia. If FQM was engaging in customs fraud in Zambia that would not be 'legal'. The question was were they?pic.twitter.com/xTquvXHXsG

      Smuggling is illegal. You don't have to change the definition of illicit financial flows to include it. But it turns out FQM weren't smuggling so no illicit financial flow here.pic.twitter.com/O4P6ay1KAt

          @Bakhunin has a nice case study about the new Ghana-Ireland DTA. Was 8% WHT on royalties too low? Are there weaknesses in the treaty? Good questions, but why roll this up with money laundering, smuggling, the drugs trade? They are different things.pic.twitter.com/i17MnMEuPA
