Secret owners of more than 1,500 UK properties, bought using offshore firms, uncovered by BBC investigation of Pandora Papers
Owning real estate through an offshore firm is legal, and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing in simply using a foreign company to purchase property.
The purchases included a £15m apartment in Mayfair and a new home for their daughter near Buckingham Palace, bought for £10.6m in 2016. The royal Al-Thani family purchased two properties on one of the world's most expensive terraces, overlooking Regent's Park in London. They were bought through offshore companies, saving millions of pounds in tax.
Mr Gutseriev is the founder of Safmar Group, a Russian conglomerate with interests in oil, coal, property and retail. Mr Gutseriev is no longer involved in Safmar, which is now part-owned by his son, Said, a British citizen.
