A database has been launched to track the assets of prominent Russians who have ties to Vladimir Putin

Called the Russian Asset Tracker, it’s been labelled by experts as “the most comprehensive public database of oligarch assets to date”.

The Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project collaborated with 27 media outlets to launch the interactive tool that displays the “vast wealth held outside Russia by oligarchs and key figures close” to the Russian president.

Over 150 assets have been uncovered through the project so far with a combined worth of about $17 billion.

Properties, private planes, company stock, yachts, mansions and more were found through land records, corporate registries and offshore leaks.

The project was organised before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and put into use just after as Western governments imposed personal sanctions on Putin’s and oligarch’s overseas assets.
