What is a Laundromat? “Laundromat” is a name OCCRP has assigned to a particular type of financial device set up primarily in developing countries. They are all-purpose financial tools that can be used as a cost-effective money laundering system, to move money offshore, to hide or obscure ownership of assets, to avoid taxes or customs fees, or to simplify or avoid local paperwork. In the worse cases, Laundromats can be used for financial fraud.

The Azerbaijani Laundromat is the name given to a complex money-laundering operation that handled US$ 2.9 billion over a two-year period thanks to four shell companies registered in the United Kingdom. Between 2012 and 2014, Azerbaijan’s kleptocratic ruling elites pumped the money through the companies’ Estonian bank accounts. The companies’ true owners were hidden behind unknown offshore shareholders.

They are the real heroes of journalism. Their information is in almost every investigative story. Motives vary range from selfless altruism to iniquity. Most want to do the right thing - to see justice done and fairness prevail. But others may try to use information to damage a rival, scuttle a project, kill legislation. We’ll accept information from anyone, regardless of their intent. Good may still result from information that is intended to do harm.
