Luanda Papers

Authorities have successfully frozen a luxury yacht in Dubai (valued at $30 million), a penthouse in London (valued at $18 million), and several factories in Portugal. However, the bulk of the estimated $5 billion fortune remains untraceable, likely stored in cryptocurrency or real estate held through trusts in the Cayman Islands.
