If you want to split hairs, yes. No one's been
arrested. They avoid bringing it into the country
as a way of evading taxes. I think you know that.
If you don't it's easy enough to find the ugly details.

You characterization of this as "evading" taxes is a lie. Evading taxes
is a crime.

While the details vary from one country to another, there is a general
agreement on the difference between avoidance and evasion.

Avoidance means that you can arrange your normal business affairs so
as to minimise tax. Thee is nothing illegal about this.

Evasion has proved much harder to define but basically you are evading
tax if you have organized you affairs via a scheme or arrangement
which cannot be justified in terms of normal business but whose sole
or major purpose is the avoidance of tax. If it only makes sense by
virtue of it avoiding tax then it is evasion.
