Deloitte falsified documents to evade tax on Abramovich's wealth

BBC Panorama and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that Deloitte falsified documents to help Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich hide $672 million in assets—including superyachts, mansions, and private jets—and evade taxes on his wealth. Deloitte Cyprus allegedly advised on the scheme to conceal the assets from company accounts, with a legal expert calling it "straightforward" and "blatant" tax evasion. Abramovich's lawyers deny he knew about or authorized any document falsification and claim he legitimately relied on professional advice.
