BBC Panorama的调查披露，作为全球四大会计师事务所之一的德勤帮助俄罗斯寡头罗曼·阿布拉莫维奇通过伪造文件的方式隐瞒价值6.72亿美元的资产并逃避税款。1这些隐瞒的资产包括超级游艇、豪宅和私人飞机等。1
在塞浦路斯运营期间，德勤采取了多项欺骗手段来协助阿布拉莫维奇的离岸公司网络规避税收。12006年，德勤签署了一份追溯至2003年的账目，通过伪造文件使价值6.72亿美元的资产从账户中消失，账户中仅保留了7.5万美元。1一份2005年8月来自MeritServus的电子邮件明确表示"需要改变2003年和2004年的财务报表和会计记录"。1在另一项操作中，德勤于2006年提议将Electus投资公司的所有权时间虚假标注为2003年11月20日，以隐藏涉及10亿美元的资产。1克拉文投资公司在2003年曾持有近20亿美元资金，德勤协助该公司通过伪造文件逃避塞浦路斯税款。1
律师Andrew Mitchell KC评价这一方案是"直截了当的"税务欺诈，表示"再也不能更露骨了"。1阿布拉莫维奇的律师否认其知晓、授权或指导任何文件伪造行为。1本次调查基于德勤2005年泄露的文件，涉及1995年至2022年间的离岸公司运作。1
A BBC Panorama investigation has revealed that Deloitte, one of the world's Big Four accounting firms, assisted Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich in concealing assets worth $672 million and evading millions of dollars in taxes through document falsification 1. The scheme, orchestrated through Deloitte's Cyprus operations, involved manipulating transaction dates and altering financial records to hide wealth including superyachts, luxury properties, and private aircraft from tax authorities 1.
The investigation, based on leaked Deloitte documents from 2005 covering offshore company operations spanning 1995 to 2022, uncovered multiple instances of fabricated paperwork 1. In one case, Deloitte signed off on 2003 accounts in 2006 after arranging for $672 million in assets to vanish from records, leaving only $75,000 1. An August 2005 email from MeritServus, an entity involved in managing Abramovich's offshore network, explicitly stated the need to "alter the 2003 and 2004 financial statements and accounting records" 1. In another scheme, Deloitte proposed backdating the transfer of ownership of Electus Investments to November 20, 2003, which would have concealed $10 billion in assets 1. Similarly, the firm assisted Kravin Investments, which held nearly $2 billion in funds in 2003, in evading Cyprus taxes through false documentation 1.
Lawyer Andrew Mitchell KC characterized the arrangement as straightforward tax fraud, stating it "could not be more blatant" 1. However, Abramovich's legal representatives have denied that he was aware of, authorized, or directed any document falsification 1.
