Ruben Vardanyan on the question related to offshore: When you do  something good, always expect bad things 

ArmInfo. When you do something good, always expect bad things. Thus, a Russian businessman of Armenian origin, Ruben Vardanyan, responded to the question of an Armenian journalist regarding publications about frauds through the "Troika Dialog" company and the impact of the scandal around his name on the activities of the Aurora humanitarian initiative. 

 The businessman noted that such questions are pouring more fuel on  the fire of anti-Armenian activities, which are being conducted by  many countries. "Aurora's activity does not please everyone, I'll say  more than many, it saddens you, and with such questions you help  them. But I would like to emphasize once again that I have always  worked openly and honestly, and I'm not ashamed to look into my  father's eyes" said Vardanyan.  

At the same time, he added that the Aurora has 137 goodwill  ambassadors, and many of them are foreigners, and no one has refused  to continue assistance after this scandalous publication, and  continues its support.  

To note, at the beginning of March of this year, a scandalous  investigation of OCCRP was published, according to which the "Troika  Dialog" bank, led by Russian businessman of Armenian origin Ruben  Vardanyan, created a network of several dozen offshore companies. It  is noted that through these companies money was withdrawn from  Russia, including with the use of "criminal schemes". According to  the investigation, the network operated from 2006 to 2013, and during  this time about 9 billion dollars were washed and removed from Russia  as a whole. 

The investigation received the name "Troika Laundromat". The  journalists had about 60 thousand financial documents that "leaked"  from the Ukio Lithuanian bank, which was closed in 2013. The study of  these documents shed light on numerous schemes and financial tricks.   Thus, the network created by "Troika Dialog" included at least 75  interconnected offshore companies, some of which opened accounts with  Ukio. The "directors" of many of these firms were ordinary seasonal  workers from Armenia.
