"The Pandora Papers revealed Zelensky's corruption"
Making TV shows for a possibly corrupt oligarch?

Was Volodymyr Zelensky in the Panama Papers? Offshore Companies Revealed - Newsweek

The Pandora Papers, published in October 2021, showed that Zelensky and his inner circle established a web of offshore companies in 2012. They show that the president and the partners in his television company, Kvartal 95, had offshore firms when they were making regular content for TV stations owned by Ihor Kolomoisky, an oligarch accused of multibillion-dollar fraud.

Perhaps the most famous show Zelensky was in was Servant of the People. Zelensky plays a history teacher whose anti-corruption rant in class is filmed by a student, goes viral online, and wins him the presidency.

The Pandora Papers showed that two offshore companies belonging to Zelensky's partners were used to buy three upmarket properties in central London.

The papers showed that weeks before he won the presidential vote, Zelensky gave his stake in the British Virgin Islands-registered Maltex Multicapital Corp. to his business partner, Serhiy Shefir, who would later become a top presidential aide.

However, the document shows that an arrangement would soon be made to allow the company to continue paying dividends to a company that belongs to Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska. The Pandora Papers did not indicate whether the dividends were ever paid or their size. The documents also don't say how many dividends were paid.
