An investigation by BBC Panorama has revealed that the world's largest accountancy firm, Deloitte in Cyprus, helped falsify and backdate documents to hide the wealth of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and evade taxes.
The fraudulent accounts signed off by the firm caused assets including superyachts, mansions, and private jets—valued at $672 million (£508 million)—to vanish from Abramovich's corporate records.
