What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

An investigation alleges that Deloitte helped falsify financial documents for Roman Abramovich to conceal his wealth and evade taxes. Reports indicate that accounts approved by Deloitte in Cyprus allowed assets worth $672 million, including luxury mansions and private jets, to disappear from his company statements. The allegations center on senior staff routinely backdating over 1,000 corporate records.
