I think (and I'm hope somebody will correct me if I'm wrong) the data is now in the control of a media group who are in turn probably controlled by some wealthy organisations. They will probably be very selective about which parts of the information is released to the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Putin is dodgy as feck so I don't doubt he is enriching himself (killing rivals etc), however i also don't doubt everyone else is either. The information shouldn't be controlled it should be out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have released just enough information for the public to realise that he is a wee bit dodgy. They will have loads of other information which can be used as and when they need to. He must have millions stashed away somewhere. Maybe not all in Panama though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Another set coming out now "pandora" this time.

Tony Blair dodged £300k of stamp duty and Tory donors are corrupt seem to be the highlights so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian going all holier than thou on it and criticising Tony Blair for setting up his offshore company to avoid stamp duty then being found to have used the same tactic themselves is suitably on brand for the 2020's: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
