After his 2015 arrest, four of his Credit Suisse accounts remained open. He shared some of the accounts with his son José, who was arrested three years later in Spain in 2018 on charges that he laundered part of his father’s illicit fortune through the country, according to media sources.

Rza and Seymur Talibov

Political

Azerbaijan

CHF 8,598,207

View the profile 

The two sons of the authoritarian leader of Nakhchivan, an isolated Azerbaijani exclave bordering Iran, Armenia, and Turkey. Their father, Vasif Talibov, has ruled the territory with an iron fist since the mid-90s, using his near-absolute power to silence critics and independent media.

The elder Talibov brother, Rza, has worked as a government official since at least 2015. His younger brother Seymur sits in the local legislative assembly, which the Norwegian Helsinki Committee has described as a rubber-stamp parliament that “meets only occasionally to accept laws already promulgated by Talibov.”

The brothers received over $20 million in questionable transfers to their accounts at Credit Suisse and other banks. Read OCCRP’s investigation about the Talibov family and their Credit Suisse accounts.

Samir Rifai

Political

Jordan

CHF 4,321,839

He has held various ministerial and royal court positions, and currently chairs the Royal Committee to Modernize the Political System. Rifai has also been active in business, and was publicly accused of corruption by Arab Spring protesters.

His name appeared on multiple accounts, some held jointly with family members. Rifai said his assets were duly declared and that he could “totally, unequivocally, and utterly” rule out any suggestion of illicit sources. He said that during the Arab Spring “you would find it very difficult to find someone who worked in government who was not accused of corruption.”

He said the funds in one account with a maximum balance worth over 12 million Swiss francs were his wife’s.

Ukraine

CHF 222,878,343

The Gutas ran one of Ukraine’s largest grain producers, but orchestrated its collapse by funneling at least $100 million out of the company and into offshore firms they controlled. Ivan Guta and his wife, Klavdiya, founded Mriya Agro Holding Public Limited in 1992, and their two sons, Andriy and Mykola, joined later.

By 2012 Mriya was managing close to 300,000 hectares of agricultural land. Two years later, the company had run out of cash, leaving creditors sitting on claims exceeding 1 billion euros.

Between them, Ivan, Klavdiya, Andriy and Mykola Guta were listed as account holders of a total of 16 Credit Suisse accounts.

The Obiangs

Political

Equatorial Guinea

CHF 694,685

View the profile 

Over 42 years since the bloody coup that took him to power, President Teodoro Obiang holds the dubious honor of being the world’s longest-serving political leader. While 70 percent of Equatorial Guinea’s people remain trapped in extreme poverty, he and his family have been accused of squandering their country’s oil wealth on lavish mansions, private jets, and — most notoriously — Michael Jackson’s $275,000 crystal-studded glove.

While Obiang ruled with an iron fist, the Credit Suisse account was held by his wife and twin sons.
