  5. No mention of USD 400 million in the report. (and no mention about the infamous Miami mansion either) Pandora Papers: Several Russian outlets covered the leaks but the Kremlin was quick to dismiss the reports as “groundless.” Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the allegations were “hard to understand” and did not merit investigation. The cache exposed assets stashed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his inner circle, including the purchase of a waterfront apartment in Monaco by a Russian woman who reportedly had a child with the longtime leader. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which obtained the records, identified hundreds of offshore companies with 4,400 beneficial owners who were Russian — more than any other nationality. They include 46 Russian oligarchs. An adviser to Zelenskyy’s chief of staff said on Monday that the president had created the offshore companies in 2012 (he became President in 2019) to “protect” the group’s incomes against the “aggressive actions” of the “corrupt” government of then pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. “Journalists have de facto confirmed the president’s absolute respect for the standards of anti-corruption legislation,” Mykhailo Podoliak told the AFP news agency. The Pandora Papers are the latest in a series of mass ICIJ leaks of financial documents, from LuxLeaks in 2014, to the 2016 Panama Papers (800 Russians on this list), which triggered the resignation of the prime minister of Iceland and paved the way for the forced resignation of the leader of Pakistan. They were followed by the Paradise Papers in 2017 and FinCen files in 2020.
