Holac Posted October 4, 2021 Kenya's Uhuru and his family are hiding millions in offshore accounts. Somalia is also shown but I didn't get individual names because the database is still being sorted by ICIJ.Ā More is coming out.Ā International Consortium of Investigative Journalists - ICIJ Pandora Papers PROJECTS.ICIJ.ORG Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maakhiri1 Posted October 4, 2021 Why would any Somali hide money offshore , while they can putĀ in theĀ country and nobody will ever notice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted October 5, 2021 During the Panama Papers, the only Somali who put his money on off shore banks was C/rahman Booreh of Djibouti. He had a long legal litigation against Omar Geelle and he hadĀ Ā almost $90 million dollar just in case if doesn't win the case. I bet there could be Somalis who have off shore banks. Mostly Al Barakaat and Dahabshiil. They are not that sophisticated to go all the way to Caribbean islands, but some where in Dubai. My God these guys owe millions of tax dollars for 25 years. Who dare to ask to open their books? no one. Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ā Why would Brakat(now Salama bank) and Dahabshiil need off shore banks? they are themselves by definitionĀ "off shore" banks Ā even al-shababĀ have accounts there. Im saying this as some one who have worked many years in hawala business, i have seen many somalis in the west using this banks to stash there untaxed/under-the-tableĀ money (cab drivers, business owners, non profit org etc). If somalia was a stable and developedĀ nation even the non somalis would have used there to to stash/hideĀ theirĀ money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdi90 Posted October 5, 2021 You all have to know one thing many of this dictators/authoritarian leadership (Putin, lham Aliyev, king abdullah etc)Ā are not stashing money in this off shores bank to hide from theirĀ country/government out of fear, they can and have already stashedĀ far more in their own country with zero accountability. Most of this dictators are doing this as plan B, as they know if they are one day kicked out everythingĀ in hisĀ country will be confiscated from him, the only thing theyĀ can count onĀ is what is outside theĀ country Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then xawaalidihii like Barakaad,Ā Dalsan, Qaran, et al, happen when these aforementioned people suddenly lose their tens of thousands dollars of lifesavings.
