The dump of more than 11.9 million records, amounting to about 2.94 terabytes of data, came five years after the leak known as the “Panama Papers” exposed how money was hidden by the wealthy in ways that law enforcement agencies could not detect.
King Abdullah, a close ally of the US, was alleged to have used offshore accounts to spend more than $100m on luxury homes in the UK and the US.
DLA Piper, a London law office representing Abdullah, told the consortium of media outlets he had “not at any point misused public monies or made any use whatsoever of the proceeds of aid or assistance intended for public use”.
The Washington Post said Krivonogikh, her daughter, who is now 18, and the Kremlin did not respond to requests for comment. Days ahead of the Czech Republic’s October 8 and 9 parliamentary election, the documents allegedly tied Babis, to a secret $22m estate in a hilltop village near Cannes, France.“The money left a Czech bank, was taxed, it was my money, and returned to a Czech bank,” Babis said.
