OCCRP has stopped updating its Russian Asset Tracker, but our reporters will keep investigating assets around the world linked to Vladimir Putin’s enablers, financiers, and cronies.

If you want to share sensitive information or have security concerns, follow the instructions here to contact us through Secure Drop.

By the time OCCRP stopped updating the project we had a list of our “9 Most Wanted” — assets that are widely reported to belong to people of interest, but whose ownership we couldn’t prove.
