Tax havens act as incentivizers for crimes - not just tax evasion, but also for routing around international sanctions or money laundering. We're punishing people who incentivize others to do criminal acts, so why should countries be exempt?

Could you explain that further? How do tax havens incentivize sanctions evasion or money laundering?

As far as I can tell, they’re just the most attractive places for such activities thanks to their low taxes. Laundering your money in Scandinavia probably wouldn’t be more difficult, it’d just be more expensive.
