- Islamic finance and tax evasion via Islamic banks with Egyptian journalist Hisham Allam.
- The European Union has extended the freezing of the Mubarak assets for one more year. We speak with Egyptian journalist Osama Diab of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.

#4 الجباية ببساطة
في العدد الرابع من “الجباية ببساطة” سلطنا الضوء على تهرب بعض المصارف الإسلامية من دفع الضرائب من خلال اللجوء لجنات النعيم الضريبي، من خلال استقصاء قام به الصحفي المصري هشام علام.
تجديد الإتحاد الأوروبي لتجميد أصول وأموال مبارك مرة أخرى كان محور لقاءنا مع أسامة دياب باحث في المبادرة المصرية للحقوق الشخصية، هذا بالإضافة إلى تسليط الضوء على إخفاق واحدة من كبرى شركات مراجعة الحسابات في العالم في كشف انتهاكات خصوصية بيانات مستخدمي فيسبوك التي أثيرت مؤخرا في قضية “كامبريدج أناليتيكا” عند قيامها بتقييم ومراجعة سياسة الخصوصية
