Investigation raises questions about transparency and governance of $1bn citizenship by investment scheme
- Revealed: thousands who bought ‘golden passports’ through Dominica’s $1bn scheme
- Luxury rooms and a swim-up bar: hotel with funding from Dominica’s golden passport scheme
The Caribbean island of Dominica may have sold thousands more “golden passports” than its government has publicly disclosed, according to analysis that raises questions about the transparency and governance of its $1bn (£822m) citizenship by investment scheme.
An investigation by the Guardian and 14 other international news organisations, in partnership with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, has conducted the first detailed examination of the identities and numbers of individuals who paid for Dominican citizenship.
