Investigation: Ukrainian oligarchs, PEPs moved dirty billions across the globe


Andriy Klyuyev, Dmytro Firtash and Ihor Kolomoisky are among the high-profile Ukrainians featured in the FinCEN Files, a leak of suspicious activity reports filed by global banks to the U.S. Treasury Department’s intelligence unit, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

A cross-border investigation, FinCEN Files, conducted by over 400 journalists from all over the world, revealed how banks and regulators allowed $2 trillion in dirty money — including some from Ukraine — to move abroad unchecked. Crooked politicians and business people fueled drug cartels and criminal enterprises with illicit money and profited at the expense of ordinary people.

The Kyiv Post contributed to the investigative project coordinated by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalism (ICIJ) and BuzzFeed News.
