Poroshenko and his “empire of sweets” were accused of lying
Co-founder of the Organized Crime and Corruption Research Project (OCCRP), Drew Sullivan, accused Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and his lawyers of lying, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He wrote about this on Twitter, commenting on the investigation surrounding the Panama Papers documents.
“Poroshenko and his lawyers have been openly lying for years about his attempts to control the ‘empire of sweets’ and evade taxes through offshore companies,” he wrote.
According to Sullivan, “successful businesses create bad leaders” because they cannot give up the business to which they have dedicated their whole lives.
“The funny thing is that they are bad even at lying. They get caught doing this again and again. Well, they’re just some kind of clowns,” said Sullivan.
Let us recall that the material from the Organized Crime and Corruption Research Project (OCCRP) states that a few days before the publication of the Panama Archives, Poroshenko’s Cypriot lawyers asked administrators from the law firm Mossack Fonseca to make urgent changes to the documents of the president’s offshore company.
