What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

An international investigation claimed that Deloitte Cyprus allegedly created backdated documents involving British Virgin Islands companies and Yukos/Gazprom Neft. These papers reportedly presented asset transfers as past transactions to limit tax and disclosure duties, allegedly removing billions of Roman Abramovich’s assets from Cypriot company accounts. Deloitte Cyprus reportedly reviewed these papers, which were used to reduce holdings from about €578 million to about €65,000 in one case.
