"It’s no secret that the family of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev likes to buy expensive buildings around the world, although it’s rarely clear where the money comes from

But the history of the at 39 Popa Soare Street in Bucharest’s old city is even murkier than usual,

involving offshore transactions, links to corrupt officials and organized crime, insider deals & a peculiar cult of personality for a dead leader.

Heydar Aliyev was a former KGB general & first secretary of the Communist Party’.. in Azerbaijan"

In 2016 David Beckham along w/ ..other celebs & City people found themselves in a bit of tax bother due to their investments in a controversial film investment scheme with Ingenious, a finance company selling tax-efficient investments in Hollywood films

‘Rust’ Shines Spotlight on Opaque Indie Film Financing Scheme..

The model, however, wasn’t new. Taking advantage of a generous tax break enacted by then-PM Tony Blair’s New Labour government, .. groups with names like Little Wing and Ingenious sprouted up

"The funds helped bankroll Hollywood projects but the system was ripe for abuse. In some cases, film budgets were artificially inflated to create a loss on paper, enabling investors to claim greater tax repayments; money claimed to have been spent on development or production

was just shuffled back and forth among various offshore accounts. The founders of Little Wing, for example, were found guilty of investment scam and sentenced to lengthy prison terms...

Other groups, including Ingenious, have successfully appealed charges of tax avoidance. The company remains an active investor in film, recently backing Oscar-winner Judy and the Oliver Stone-directed documentary JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass.

The U.K. sale-and-leaseback scheme was eventually shut down by the U.K. government in 2006.

Phil Hunt, CEO of London-based Head Gear Films knows the model well: “That deal is a great deal because you’re making money even if you lost money. … That’s how it used to be ..”

So,

Little Wing went to jail and Ingenious are still trading.

""Unusually, the tribunal judge said that he had reached his conclusion with 'misgivings and reluctance'," reports the Times [about the Ingenious case]"
