This is completely fair to the subject: He got a tax refund for taxes paid for dividends, that he never paid in the first place. This is not a loophole, open to interpretation or in any way anything except plain old fraud.

Now you can fault the authorities for not having better checks in place (I personally blame, in the Danish case, a previous government for firing ~2000 “IRS” employees due to them being unneeded when a new IT system was put in place. Funny thing is the IT system had just been funded, when they were fired), but it is still outright fraud.

In the end I hope this will be a PR win for EU, as we can hopefully agree to heavy sanctions if he is not extradited.
