Archive of Pandora

On Sunday, the International Consortium of Journalists-Assembly (ICIJ) published the results of the investigation (English), based on 12 million documents of 14 offshore registrars. The investigation was attended by more than 600 journalists from 150 more publications from around the world, the only participant from Russia was the publication “Important Stories”. Russian discoveries concern the general director of Channel One Konstantin Ernst (OFSHOR, whose beneficiary he is, participates in the project for the demolition of Soviet cinemas in Moscow and the construction of shopping centers in their place), the alleged third daughter of Putin Svetlana Krivonogikh (she owns an offshore in Monaco worth 3.6 million euros), the family of the head) “Rostec” by Sergey Chemezov (owned by offshore property for 22 billion rubles, including a yacht and villa in Marbella), as well as the head of the presidential administration Anton Vaino, son -in -law Sergey Lavrov Alexander Vinokurov, son -in -law of the head of Transneft Nikolai Tokarev.

The law does not prohibit owning offshores, but they often serve as channels for laundering corruption income, and politicians owning them almost always publicly declare values incompatible with their possession. In some cases, the Russian authorities encourage the possession of offshores: for example, the cellist Sergei Roldugin, the existence of which the world learned as the “wallet” of Putin after the previous major leakage of offshore documents, was awarded the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland” of the IV degree.
