After the Panama Papers and the Paradise Papers, here are new revelations about an international network of tax evasion and money laundering: the Dubai Papers, named after the internal documents peeled by L'Obs , the weekly that has led several month the survey in the United Arab Emirates. In total, 200 people are involved in this affair: Russian oligarchs, sportsmen, bosses, as well as large fortunes.

The Dubai Papers reveal financial circuits of incredible complexity through which tens of millions of euros have been withdrawn from the tax authorities.

The organizer of this network is the Helin Group, a nebula specialized in fraud engineering and located in the United Arab Emirates. Led by former British banker Geraldine Whittaker, whose trust is the largest shareholder in the group. Among his associates, the Belgian prince, Henri de Croÿ, accused in the past of having subtracted 75 million euros from the Belgian State and paid since.

Thanks to nominees and offshore companies, the money circulated through accounts common to the group in order to be laundered. All means were good: cash, fake loans or prepaid cards to conceal the final beneficiaries.

Among them, footballer Nicolas Anelka or Aleksei Korotaev, Russian-Swiss businessman. But also the French Sebastien de Montessus, former executive of Areva. Last March, this "black baron" as he is nicknamed, was indicted for "bribery of foreign public official", "private corruption" and "breach of trust".
