Panama Papers Link More Than 6,000 Russians to Offshore Companies
More than 6,000 Russian individuals and legal entities own or manage offshore companies, according to data published online by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
A global team of investigative reporters on May 9 opened access to the full database of offshore entities, drawn from the earlier Offshore Leaks investigation and the so-called Panama Papers — a huge leak of documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.
The database contains information about 320,000 offshore companies around the world and includes 11,516 offshore firms and 6,285 people connected with Russia.
These findings make Russia one of the countries with the largest number of citizens connected to offshore entities, the Vedomosti newspaper reported.
