The Oligarchs

Title: The Oligarchs
Overview: | Al Jazeera | Aljazeera's investigative unit unravels a high-stakes international plot by powerful Eastern European oligarchs to make millions of dollars off a crooked deal. According to a Ukrainian analyst, “It sounds like an agreement between criminal bosses. You can sign it with your blood.” The settlement involves a web of offshore companies and international lawyers attacking $160 million under the noses of authorities. The money is effectively being stolen for a second time… the money was initially frozen by Ukrainian courts after its former president, Viktor Yanukovych, discovered it had emptied the country's treasury. The Oligarchs include an exiled gas billionaire guarded by Russian special forces, a Moscow real estate mogul and an Olympic show jumper on the run from Ukrainian authorities. The research sheds light on the ever-changing battle between the oligarchs and global financial regulators.
