British newspaper The Guardian wrote about The Panama Papers stressing that the flow of Money starts in Panama, continues in Russia, Switzerland and South Cyprus.
\nA network of secret offshore deals and vast loans worth $2bn has laid a trail to Russia\u2019s president, Vladimir Putin.
\nAn unprecedented leak of documents shows how this money has made members of Putin\u2019s close circle fabulously wealthy.
\nThough the president\u2019s name does not appear in any of the records, the data reveals a pattern \u2013 his friends have earned millions from deals that seemingly could not have been secured without his patronage.
\nThe documents suggest Putin\u2019s family has benefited from this money \u2013 his friends\u2019 fortunes appear his to spend.
\nThe offshore trail starts in Panama, darts through Russia, Switzerland and Cyprus \u2013 and includes a private ski resort where Putin\u2019s younger daughter, Katerina, got married in 2013.
\nThe Panama Papers shine a particular spotlight on Sergei Roldugin, who is Putin\u2019s best friend. A professional musician, he has apparently accumulated a fortune \u2013 having been placed in ostensible control of a series of assets worth at least $100m, possibly more.
\nYet the files reveal Putin\u2019s longstanding intimate has a 12.5% stake in Russia\u2019s biggest TV advertising agency, Video International, which has annual revenues of more than \u00a3800m. Previously, its ownership was a closely guarded secret.
\nRoldugin was also secretly given an option to buy a minority stake in the Russian truck manufacturer Kamaz, which makes army vehicles, and has 15% of a Cyprus-registered company called Raytar.
