NEW: The longtime speaker of Azerbaijan’s parliament, Oktay Asadov, had a $30,000 annual salary. But his family owns real estate worth millions in London, Moscow, and Dubai. #PandoraPapers 1/ occrp.org/en/the-pandora…
Asadov’s wife (the director of a state kindergarten) bought an apartment in the Triumph Palace, a neo-Stalinist Moscow skyscraper. She also owns a large building that houses this unusual-looking sauna. 2/ 
One of Asadov’s daughters bought an apartment in the Al Bateen Residences in Dubai (the tall building on the right). Her husband also bought office space in the Emirate, as well as a three-bedroom London apartment in prestigious Regent’s Park. 3/
The origin of the money used to acquire these properties is unknown. Neither Asadov nor any members of his family are known to have any sources of income that would account for such purchases. 4/
The story also involves a candidate in this year’s London mayoral race.
Before his long-shot campaign, Kamran Balayev married Asadov’s other daughter. The couple bought two pricey London apartments, apparently while Balayev was an official with Azerbaijan’s justice ministry. 5/
