35 current and former world leaders and more than 300 executives are in the failures that have leaked to the Pandora Papers, the BBC reported.
They reveal that the King of Jordan owns more than 70 million pounds in Britain and the United States. Former Prime Minister of England Tony Blair has saved 312,000 pounds in taxes when buying his London office. He buys an offshore company that owns the building.
Leaked data shows that Russian President Vladimir Putin has secret property in Monaco, and Czech Prime Minister Andrei Babish has forgotten to de-market an offshore company that bought two houses in southern France for 12 million pounds.
This is another document leak after FinCen Files, Paradise Papers, Panama Papers and LuxLeaks.
The files were reviewed by the International Consortium for Investigative Journalism (ICIJ), involving more than 650 reporters.
12 million documents from 14 financial institutions in the British Virgin Islands, Panama, Belize, Cyprus, the UAE, Singapore and Switzerland were reviewed.
Some of them have already been charged with corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. But it is reaffirmed that the rich are legally making companies to buy real estate in the United States.
The documents identify the owners of the 95,000 offshore companies behind the purchases.
For example, the family of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev bought property in Britain for more than 400 million pounds. On top of that, they have earned 31 million from the sale of the royal trust, which manages the estates of Elizabeth II.
The King of Jordan has properties in the United States and Britain for 70 million pounds. He owns a number of companies in the British Virgin Islands and other tax havens, with Abdullah II bin al-Hussein buying 15 properties since 1999.
They include three neighboring properties overlooking the ocean for 50 million pounds in Malibu, California, as well as those in London and Ascot in the UK.
The king’s lawyers claim that everything was bought from his own wealth, which he also uses for the good of the people of Jordan.
