The French real estate assets of businessmen and top-ranking officials close to Russian President Vladimir Putin were targeted in a lawsuit that alleged they were bought with criminal money.
Transparency International France lodged the suit Friday against unnamed persons over allegations of money laundering and failure to justify financial resources. The allegations are based on open-source data that the NGO says enabled them to map out the properties of individuals close to the Russian regime.
