Quick Glance: Luxury London Property Linked to Russian Official Avoids Sanctions
- A prestigious property in London associated with a high-ranking Russian official remained untouched after the United Kingdom imposed sanctions against him, as discovered by ICIJ, amidst challenges in enforcing sanctions.
- Through leaked documents from the 2021 Pandora Papers obtained by ICIJ, as well as records from the British Land Registry, it was revealed that the offshore company based in the British Virgin Islands, now under the control of a trust, still retains ownership of the five-story, red townhouse on Herbert Crescent, an exclusive location in central London.
- Transparency International UK, an anti-corruption advocacy group, issued a warning in late 2023 that the government had failed to track the assets of sanctioned individuals and companies in the UK, identifying 33 properties that should have been frozen but remain unrestricted.
- ICIJ has previously exposed UK properties owned by controversial international tycoons hidden under layers of corporate secrecy, including a prominent Ukrainian industrialist and the former Finance Minister of Malaysia, who is currently the subject of a high-profile anti-corruption investigation.
