[Thread] UNCTAD doubles down: 'we stand by our landmark #commodities misinvoicing study' https://twitter.com/UNCTAD/status/900367175713660928 … (1/)

i.e. the UNCTAD report from last summer which was criticised by
@StatsSA,@sarstax, etc & mehttps://www.cgdev.org/blog/gaps-trade-data-criminal-money-laundering …
The report argues that between 2000-2010 the vast majority of SA's gold exports 'misinvoiced' (i.e. not reported/ smuggled out)pic.twitter.com/WG11IxM9sL

This is not just silly. Its irresponsible. Unfounded accusations undermine trust & distract from understanding actual customs/tax fraud.

Back in Feb
@UNCTAD seemed to distance itself from report http://www.fin24.com/Special-Reports/Mining-Indaba-2017/unctad-chief-sets-record-straight-on-sa-gold-mis-invoicing-20170209 … Now 'standing by our study'. Neither response good enough
