jonski43 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Millions of documents reveal offshore deals and assets of more than 100 billionaires, 30 world leaders and 300 public officials. This could get interesting! They include the ruler of Jordan, King Abdullah II, who has amassed a secret $100m property empire spanning Malibu, Washington and London. The king of Jordan declined to answer specific questions but said there would be nothing improper about him owning properties via offshore companies. Tony and Cherie Blair saved hundreds of thousands of pounds in property taxes when acquiring a London office building from an offshore company partially owned by a prominent Bahraini minister. The files also show that Azerbaijan’s ruling Aliyev family has traded close to £400m of UK property in recent years. The prime minister of the Czech republic, Andrej Babiš, who is up for election this week, is facing questions over why he used an offshore investment company to acquire a $22m chateau in the south of France. https://amp.theguardian.com/news/2021/oct/03/pandora-papers-biggest-ever-leak-of-offshore-data-exposes-financial-secrets-of-rich-and-powerful?__twitter_impression=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millionaires avoiding tax by going off shore in secret - it stinks to High Heaven but as usual always shrugged off Tax evasion of millions of dollars is an immoral, unethical and mostly illegal practice by the super wealthy but as usual, corruption by the rich and powerful seems to mostly go unpunished.

karbatal Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The EU just took most of those tax haven places out of the black list of places forbidden to operate. One person responsible to take them off the list is in the Pandora papers. What can we expect from that????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
