The report additionally includes three case studies selected to offer a deeper look at three dimensions of the relevant issues: first, involvement in tax avoidance; second, the political influence of owners of financed firms; and third, the involvement of the firm or its owner in a corruption case.   aCorruption, Secrecy, Tax, Transparency  aDiab, O.  aHussein, S.  uiffoadatabase.trustafrica.org/iff/veils_of_secrecy.pdf
