Abramovich

It was Christmas in 2011, and it was a year when Roman Abramovich was sent by Roman Abramovich. But it seems that the oligarch will not use it during the festival-records show that it is rented by a company in the British Virgin Islands.

However, from the photos of Christmas that year, Mr. Abramovich stood on the swimming platform behind the yacht under the sun in the Caribbean, and had a large letter-E logo behind him.

The charter records such as such as misleading tax institutions are part of the ten -year plan, and now in the BBC and Investigation News BureauEssence

The plan was mistakenly presented as a commercial leasing business as a commercial leasing business to avoid VAT with millions of euros in purchase and operating costs.

Professor Tommaso Di Tanno, Italian tax lawyer and Tommaso Di Tanno, told Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). “This is a crime.”

According to reports, Mr. Abramovic’s lawyer in a statement-According to reports, his time was assigned between Istanbul, Tel Aviv and Russia Sochi. “Legal tax and legal advice” and “act according to it”.

The billionaire was approved by Britain in March 2022 for his contact with the Vladimir Putin regime in March 2022. He purchased five luxury yachts in the 2000s involved in the tax plan.

Among them, P notorus, which includes 115 million (377 feet). According to reports, he lent the Chelsea football player John Terry in 2007-Eclipse and Eclipse (533 feet) was the world’s largest private yacht. It is estimated that It is worth $ 700 million (£ 559 million).

Avoiding the taxation of yacht tax and other secrets of the approved oligopoly company Empire-leaked 400,000 documents and 72,000 emails in the Swip Luther service provider MORDITSERVUS.

They demonstrated how Metsevs had the oligopoly business of the global company’s network management oligraphy through a series of trusts, and Mr. Abramovich was the beneficiary.

Since 2023, British Broadcasting Corporation and its media partners have been reporting the leaked documents. This is part of the International Investigation Journalist Alliance. Cyprus secret investigation. We have revealed before Mr. Abramovich’s financial connection with one of Putin’s closest associatesAccused of holding the wealth of the president.

These documents reveal how the consultant of Mr. Abramovich helps him to avoid huge tax bills for yacht operating costs in the EU waters by using the company to use the company to use the company to use the company or other companies he controlled.

The document shows how these five yachts rent to a Cyprus is called “Blue Ocean Yacht Management” company. The company leases them to a minority company on the British Virgin Islands. These companies seem to be independent, but they actually The above is controlled by Mr. Abramovic.

The plan to avoid the value -added tax in Cyprus was stated in the 2005 memo of 2005, which was a proposed “operating structure” proposed for Mr. Abramovic’s yacht management.

The author of the memorandum, Jonathan Holloway, wrote: “We want to avoid paying a value -added tax at the purchase price of yachts and avoid paying the value -added tax provided by the goods and services provided by the yacht under possible circumstances.”

Although the blue ocean and the company hired a yacht are all ownership of Mr. Abramovich’s trust fund, they intend to seem to be unreachable. Some of the closest colleagues of Mr. Abramovich.

Mr. Hollow warned them that they should “know risks.” He wrote: “All of us must realize that determined investigators can eventually discover that this is an internal structure and may bring possible consequences.”

Mr. Holloway wrote that the blue ocean, the company of the leasing yacht, and the final “customer” should not have the same shareholders, directors or registered addresses to avoid any “public link” that may cause doubt.

As the memorandum pointed out, Mr. Abramovic’s lawyer has agreed to put the ownership of the blue ocean in a completely independent trust-obviously it has alienated it from other companies.

Sure enough, the ownership of the blue ocean of the yacht management company subsequently transferred from the main trust of the oligopoly to the new trust foundation.

Professor DI Tanno told BBC that the way Mr. Abramovich’s company rented a yacht to each other is a “artificial structure” that escaped taxation-criminal crimes.

He said: “My conclusion is that in this case, there are already tax evasion … because all parties know how to do to cover up reality.”

Tax expert Rita de La Feria told Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) that the “they may be false statement information” in the yacht plan.

She added: “If this is the case, then we are now in the field of escape.”

About 15 years ago, Mr. Hollowy resigned as a director of the Blue Ocean. He told Broadcasting Corporation that he “joined the blue ocean 20 years ago and stayed there for a short time.”

He said he “manages hundreds of ships from many different locations in the world.” He said: “I can’t expect the personal situation of each ship I have managed.”

A lawyer on behalf of Mr. Abramovich told Broadcasting Corporation that he denied that “any accusation of himself” or “personal responsibility” or “any suspected deception of any government authorities to evade taxes”.

His lawyer said that as Mr. Ebramovich sought professional laws and taxes and took action, he hoped that “seeking similar suggestions in related periods, which are responsible for those participating in daily operations.”

If this is a real super yacht rental business, it may get considerable profits. However, the blue ocean account shows that from 2005 to 2012, its expenditure almost matched its income.

This means that because the company’s profit is small, there is almost no company tax.

The notes of the blue marine director show that the close matching of expenditure and income is never accidental. When plans that need to pay for expenditure, the company will produce a charter.

“In the early days of each week, we will hold a meeting in the blue ocean. We will check the current bank balance and the next 1 to 2 weeks of cash demand (SIC). If we see cash injection, we will propose properly properly He wrote the time charter and invoice “.

There are also evidence in the leaked documents that the charter agreement is compiled. This includes Abramovich, an ABRAMOVICH company called Blue Ocean signed in July 2005 and another BVI named Eyke Services. However, the records show that Eyke Services did not exist at the time-it was not merged until a month later.

In another case, the Blue Sea Director requires the production of a time constitution that has been turned back and signed to provide duty-free fuel for Mr. Abramovich’s 86 million (282FT) yacht ECSTASEA. The yacht can accommodate 15 guests-save eight Personal-$ 44,000 (£ 35,000) tax for 100 millionaires.

In the document, the tax consultant of Cyprus Steelin wrote to Mr. Hollow, the Blue Sea Director, saying that if the ship is an entertainment boat, they will have to pay a value -added tax. However, if the ship is classified as a business, it will not.

A leading super yacht lawyer Benjamin Maltby told the Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) that the types of contract types used by many luxury yacht charters of Mr. Abramovich are actually designed to carry cereals such as grain Or designed commercial ships such as steel and other dry goods.

This provides us with more evidence, indicating that the “appearance” of the entire action is false.

The Broadcasting Corporation and the Investigation News Agency were informed that Mr. Abramovich’s super yacht plan was scrutinized twice and achieved different success.

From 2006 to 2012, Richard Bridge served as two yachts of Mr. Abramovich in the past six years, including Pelorus and giant. Eclipse, this is the pride of Abramovich Fleet. After a few years of working for Mr. Abramovich for a few years, the captain was stopped and was questioned at Schipol Airport at Amsterdam.

The Italian prosecutor has begun to claim the three captains of Mr. Abramovich, including Mr. Brich, requesting for free consumption taxes for refueling and tax evasion.

However, Mr. Brutt told Broadcasting Corporation that he had contacted the blue ocean, “their lawyers joined it”, and a few months later, the case was discarded.

The litigation procedure displayed by the BBC stopped the Italian court record after the lawyer’s “production documents”, which proved that PELORUS was “a commercial ship as a commercial ship or for commercial purposes or hired commercial ships. In the registration book “.

Mr. Brutt said that he did not realize that Mr. Abramovich also controlled the company where the rental yacht was controlled.

In Cyprus, tax officials are investigating the blue ocean separately, up to 17 million euros (14.3 million pounds) without paying value -added tax, which is questioned with the company’s claiming “zero rating” of VAT because it is a commercial operation.

The blue ocean lawyer said that the requirements for providing evidence of these vessels were required. The companies rented by these vessels used “unreasonable and oppressiveness” in business, but they asked customers anyway and did not receive any response.

We now know that the customers of the blue ocean are of course the other companies of Mr. Abramovich.

According to the 2018 appeal judgment, VAT investigators found that the blue ocean failed to provide evidence of evidence. These leased yacht companies “engaged in economic activities” and claimed that these ships were used for business purposes and were rejected.

In the end, Cyprus pursued the blue ocean for a low price of 14 million euros (11.8 million pounds).

We don’t know if the amount has been paid-the company failed to participate in its own appeal in March 2024 and disbanded four months later.
