Europe's Billion Euro Deceptions: The Scandals That Forged the Modern EU

Описание: 👋 Welcome to Deep Dive, where we unravel the complex stories shaping our world. In this episode, we investigate the five biggest financial scandals in the European Union's history—crises that cost taxpayers billions, toppled governments, and forced radical reforms.

🕵️ Join us as we explore:
🔹 The Santer Commission (1999): How allegations of mismanagement and nepotism led to the entire European Commission resigning en masse, forever changing the balance of power in Brussels.
🔹 The Cum-Ex Files: Uncover the "biggest tax heist in European history," a sophisticated scheme where bankers and lawyers stole an estimated €150 billion from public treasuries.
🔹 LuxLeaks (2014): The shocking story of how Luxembourg secretly granted sweetheart tax deals to over 340 multinational giants like Amazon and Pepsi, exposed by courageous whistleblowers.
🔹 Volkswagen's Dieselgate (2015): The inside story of the "defeat device" fraud that poisoned our air, caused thousands of premature deaths, and exposed a catastrophic failure of EU regulation.
🔹 Qatargate (2022): From suitcases of cash to foreign interference, we examine the corruption scandal that rocked the European Parliament and put its democratic integrity on trial.

🔍 We'll analyze the systemic failures that allowed these scandals to happen, their devastating impact on ordinary people, and the legislative battles that followed. Are the EU's reforms enough to prevent the next great scandal?
