Quick Glance: Cyprus to Investigate Allegations of Russian Sanction-Busting
- Cyprus has pledged to investigate new allegations by international journalists that it is a hub for Russian money-laundering enabling oligarchs to bypass sanctions.
- An investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and 67 media partners reveals that the east Mediterranean island plays an even bigger role than was commonly known in moving dirty money for Russian President Vladimir Putin and other brutal dictators.
- Documents offer a penetrating look inside the rogue financial system that has helped empower some of the West's most determined foes, as stated in the probe titled Cyprus Confidential.
- While it is not the first time the EU member Cyprus has been labeled a safe haven for the illicit gains of Russian oligarchs, the government has taken measures to combat money laundering and sanctions-busting since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
