New Russian asset tracker details oligarchs' mansions and yachts
CNN
A nonprofit reporting network launched Monday the Russian Asset Tracker, a database to track the assets of prominent Russians who have links to Vladimir Putin.
It's "the most comprehensive public database of oligarch assets to date," according to the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, which collaborated with 27 media outlets to launch the tracker. The tool is interactive and displays the "vast wealth held outside Russia by oligarchs and key figures close" to the Russian president.
The investigative project uncovered more than 150 assets worth about $17 billion combined, including property, private planes, company stock, yachts, mansions and more. Journalists discovered these assets by combing through land records, corporate registries and offshore leaks.
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the intelligence community, was briefly placed on a Transportation Security Administration list that prompts additional security screening before flights after her overseas travel patterns and foreign connections triggered a government algorithm earlier this year, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
