The setting was the multimillion-dollar Mezhyhyria estate where the nation’s president resides. About 100 journalists from the group attended the event.
The gathering was intended to demonstrate to Yanukovych and the world how Ukraine under Yanukovych has become an oasis for blatant corruption by high-level officials.
One of the suspicious transactions detailed on the map is how Yanukovych and offshore companies acquired the vast Mezhyhyria estate from the state at firesale prices.
Yanukovych did not show up to greet the journalists, who wanted to remind the president of his two-year-old unkept promise to give them a tour of Mezhyhyria.
