The Mystery of Putin's Wealth

Even with the heat turned up on Russian oligarchs—and more recently, his own family—Vladimir Putin’s wealth remains one of the biggest mysteries for law enforcement, investigative journalists, and anti-corruption activists. New York Times investigative journalist Mike McIntire explains to us what his reporting has uncovered about Putin’s strategy for avoiding sanctions, the Western advisors who shield his inner circle from financial scrutiny, and maybe, perhaps, where the Russian President is ultimately hiding his riches.   Guests:   Mike McIntire,  investigative reporter The New York Times   Host:     Ray Suarez, co-host WorldAffairs   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.
