    <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">In the January 2016
      Tax
      Justice Network podcast: What's Scotland got to
      do with the plunder of Moldova? We take a look at the 'Wild West'
      of
      Scottish Limited Partnerships. Also, we discuss the tensions in
      the
      EU; is the net finally closing on multinational companies, the tax
      minimisation deals they've been getting from various European
      countries and the big four accountancy firms who advised them?
      Just
      how bad was the sell off of one of Colombia's most profitable
      power
      generation companies? What's former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair
      got
      to do with it? And why's it been ignored outside Latin America?
      Also,
      we talk about the MEP who's dragging the European Commission
      through
      the courts to get access to papers they'd rather we didn't see.
      John
      Christensen will eat his hat if they DON'T reveal what MEP Fabio
      De
      Masi suspects they will: 'systematic political backup for a tax
      avoidance cartel that costs taxpayers in the EU hundreds of
      billions
      of dollars annually.'
