BREAKING: OCCRP and partners have uncovered dozens of assets tied to Russia’s ruling class. And this is just the beginning.

We'll continue to identify and catalog their yachts, mansions, and other ill-gotten gains here, in #RussianAssetTracker 🔍 occrp.org/en/asset-track…

Despite facing unprecedented scrutiny, we found that Russia's ruling class has still been able to effectively control lucrative assets abroad through opaque corporate structures and proxies.

Here are a few examples we've uncovered so far 👇

Alisher Usmanov, an Uzbek-Russian billionaire, is connected to several assets throughout the UK and Europe. Here are just 3 of them.

➡️ Property on the Croatian coast — Est. value $5.6M
➡️ 2 large brick mansions near Hampstead Heath — Est. value $59.4M cdn.occrp.org/projects/russi…

All entries in the database are supported with indisputable evidence tying asset ownership to a Kremlin ally.

Here are 9 high-value assets that are widely reported to belong to people of interest but whose ownership we couldn’t prove.
