Poroshenko has not been forgotten in the British Virgin Islands - the investigation continues
Law enforcement agencies of the British Virgin Islands are investigating possible money laundering by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
About it in a comment to Gromadsky said the author of the Panama Papers investigation, Slidstvo.Info journalist Anna Babinets.
“The Financial Investigation Agency of the British Virgin Islands opened a case against Poroshenko’s company and also against a company associated with Trukhanov. They began their investigation. From the wording that we saw in the correspondence, it was about suspicion of money laundering. It’s interesting that companies associated with Ukrainian public figures are being investigated abroad, but they are not being investigated in our country,” she said.
The journalist also said that she sent a request to the Presidential Administration regarding the investigation against Poroshenko. However, the answer came that the AP did not know anything about the initiation of a case.
Babinets added that she was awaiting a response to the request from the Financial Investigation Agency of the British Virgin Islands.
Slidstvo.Info's investigative journalists were co-authors of the Panama Papers project, which won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in the category of Explanatory Journalism.
The investigation materials revealed connections between world leaders and businessmen and offshore companies. The list included people from the circle of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, British Prime Minister David Cameron and others.
From these documents it became known that Poroshenko founded three offshore asset management companies, including the Roshen confectionery corporation, without indicating information about this in his property declarations.
