files obtained by the international consortium of investigative journalists
show the relatives of at least five current and former members of china's top
leadership have been stashing assets in overseas tax-havens like the british
*** islands. the confidential files include details of
a real estate company co-owned by
current president xi jinping's brother-in- law and british *** islands
companies set up by former premier wen jia bao's son and also by his son-
in-law. by some estimates the total amount of untrac
ed assets moved out of china
since 2000 stands at somewhere between one and four trillion u.s.
dollars.
