A joint investigation by the BBC Panorama program and the Bureau for Investigative Journalism has revealed that Deloitte, one of the largest accounting firms globally, participated in falsifying records to obscure Roman Abramovich’s fortune and facilitate tax evasion.
Journalists uncovered hundreds of documents that were both backdated and altered to mask the Russian billionaire’s true financial standing. The findings detail a systematic effort to conceal wealth through fabricated paperwork.
Abramovich has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with these allegations. The full investigative report is available for viewing on BBC iPlayer.
Does anyone else find it wild that this took so long? The wheels of justice grind slow.
Abramovich denies it, but backdated documents are hard to argue with. What does he have to hide?
This is absolutely shocking. How do we even trust financial auditors anymore if this is true?
Deloitte? Really? I guess ‘Big Four’ integrity is just a marketing slogan now.
