You know, in a sane country this would be a reasonable headline. Tax dodging is often done legally if dishonestly. By hiring someone who is particularly adept at navigating those loopholes that person could effectively shut them down without opening new ones. It takes a thief to catch a thief and so on. Unfortunately this isn't a sane country so I have to assume he's just going to make the loopholes just straight up holes to make things even worse
