Legal Protection: Registration provides legal recourse against infringement, allowing you to take legal action against unauthorized users of your mark.

Market Recognition: A registered trademark enhances brand visibility and credibility, instilling confidence in consumers and fostering brand loyalty.

Asset Value: Trademarks are valuable assets that can appreciate over time, contributing to the overall worth of your business.

Last month, a court in Kenya issued a landmark ruling against Meta, owner of Facebook and Instagram. The US tech giant was, the court ruled, the “true employer” of the hundreds of people employed in Nairobi as moderators on its platforms, trawling through posts and images to filter out violence, hate speech and other shocking content. That means Meta can be sued in Kenya for labor rights violations, even though moderators are technically employed by a third party contractor.

Social media giant TikTok was watching the case closely. The company also uses outsourced moderators in Kenya, and in other countries in the global south, through a contract with Luxembourg-based Majorel. Leaked documents obtained by the NGO Foxglove Legal, seen by WIRED, show that TikTok is concerned it could be next in line for possible litigation.

“TikTok will likely face reputational and regulatory risks for its contractual arrangement with Majorel in Kenya,” the memo says. If the Kenyan courts rule in the moderators’ favor, the memo warns “TikTok and its competitors could face scrutiny for real or perceived labor rights violations.”

The ruling against Meta came after the tech company tried to get the court to dismiss a case brought against it and its outsourcing partner, Sama, by the South African moderator, Daniel Motaung, who was fired after trying to form a union in 2019.

Motaung said the work, which meant watching hours of violent, graphic, or otherwise traumatizing content daily, left him with post-traumatic stress disorder. He also alleged that he hadn’t been fully informed about the nature of the work before he’d relocated from South Africa to Kenya to start the job. Motaung accuses Meta and Sama of several abuses of Kenyan labor law, including human trafficking and union busting. Should Motaung’s case succeed, it could allow other large tech companies that outsource to Kenya to be held accountable for the way staff there are treated, and provide a framework for similar cases in other countries.

“[TikTok] reads it as a reputational threat,” says Cori Crider, director of Foxglove Legal. “The fact that they are exploiting people is the reputational threat.”

TikTok did not respond to a request for comment.

In January, as Motaung’s lawsuit progressed, Meta attempted to cut ties with Sama and move its outsourcing operations to Majorel—TikTok’s partner.

In the process, 260 Sama moderators were expected to lose their jobs. In March, a judge issued an injunction preventing Meta from terminating its contract with Sama and moving it to Majorel until the court was able to determine whether the layoffs violated Kenyan labor laws. In a separate lawsuit, Sama moderators, some of whom spoke to WIRED earlier this year, alleged that Majorel had blacklisted them from applying to the new Meta moderator jobs, in retaliation for trying to push for better working conditions at Sama. In May, 150 outsourced moderators working for TikTok, ChatGPT, and Meta via third-party companies voted to form and register the African Content Moderators Union.

Majorel declined to comment.

The TikTok documents show that the company is considering an independent audit of Majorel’s site in Kenya. Majorel has sites around the world, including in Morocco, where its moderators work for both Meta and TikTok. Such an exercise, which often involves hiring an outside law firm or consultancy to conduct interviews and deliver a formal assessment against criteria like local labor laws or international human rights standards, “may mitigate additional scrutiny from union representatives and news media,” the memo said.

Paul Barrett, deputy director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University, says that these audits can be a way for companies to look like they’re taking action to improve conditions in their supply chain, without having to make the drastic changes they need.

“There have been instances in a number of industries where audits have been largely performative, just a little bit of theater to give to a global company a gold star so that they can say they're complying with all relevant standards,” he says, noting that it’s difficult to tell in advance whether a potential audit of TikTok’s moderation operations would be similarly cosmetic.

Meta has conducted multiple audits, including in 2018, contracting consultants Business for Social Responsibility to assess its human rights impact in Myanmar in the wake of a genocide that UN investigators alleged was partially fueled by hate speech on Facebook. Last year, Meta released its first human rights report. The company has, however, repeatedly delayed the release of the full, unredacted copy of its human rights impact report on India, commissioned in 2019 following pressure from rights groups who accused it of contributing to the erosion of civil liberties in the country.

The TikTok memo says nothing about how the company might use such an assessment to help guide improvements in the material conditions of its outsourced workers. “You'll note, the recommendations are not suddenly saying, they should just give people access to psychiatrists, or allow them to opt out of the toxic content and prescreen them in a very careful way, or to pay them in a more equal way that acknowledges the inherent hazards of the job,” says Crider. “I think it's about the performance of doing something.”

Barrett says that there is an opportunity for TikTok to approach the issue in a more proactive way than its predecessors have. “I think it would be very unfortunate if TikTok said, ‘We’re going to try to minimize liability, minimize our responsibility, and not only outsource this work, but outsource our responsibility for making sure the work that's being done on behalf of our platform is done in an appropriate and humane way.’”

Amid the implementation struggles of crypto project Worldcoin in Kenya, Worldcoin CEO Alex Blania has been accused by the Kenyan lawmakers of data fraud saying the project’s arrival to Kenya looks like “a gang of criminals who are coming to harvest data from young people.” Worldcoin Faces Scrutinization From Kenyan Lawmakers Kenyan lawmakers and authorities continue to scrutinize the controversial Worldcoin project in the country, resulting in Worldcoin CEO Alex Blania having to answer to lawmakers on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Blania’s questioning comes amidst the suspension of Worldcoin activities in the country by the Kenyan government on August 2, 2023. The CEO had to appear before the Kenyan parliamentary ad hoc committee, a 17-member committee set up by the Kenyan government to investigate the operations of the American-based Cryptocurrency firm Worldcoin, to respond to allegations of illegal operations and data mining in the country. The project sparked concerns in the country when the Kenyan authorities discovered that it was not officially registered and over 350,000 Kenyans had signed up for Worldcoin and scanned their eyeballs with the project in exchange for free $49 worth of WLD tokens valued 7000 Kenyan shillings. However, CEO Alex Blania responded to these allegations claiming that the project has been connected with the Kenyan’s Office of the Data Commissioner Immaculate Kassait since April 2022, having the firm registered as a data controller, not a limited company. In addition, he stated that the firm was under no obligation to get registered under Kenyan laws, so the firm had to work with local partners who had that obligation. Blania further defended the project saying Worldcoin is solving a critical challenge on the internet: proof-of-personhood and that the project had abided by all the country’s data and registration requirements. “We wish to emphasize the Worldcoin project’s long-term commitment to Kenya. Our commitment to the people of Kenya is genuine, and we have at all times endeavored to operate honestly, compliantly, and above all, transparently,” Blania opined. “All the personal and biometric data collected in Kenya is securely stored on servers either in the US, Italy, Germany, Poland, or South Africa.” Worldcoin’s chief legal officer Thomas Scott also told the Kenyan parliamentary ad hoc committee that Worldcoin was not mining data from Kenyans for malicious activities after the committee implied that worldcoin was duping Kenyans into surrendering critical identifying Information without guarantees on the use and Security of the data collected. However, Kenya’s regulator has given the firm a one-year ban, and the company only be allowed to operate again once it undergoes a Security audit, allows the government access to the collected data, registers with the Business Registration Services (BRS), and establishes a local representative. WLD token Price falls to $1.04 | Source: WLDUSDT on Tradingview.com Worldcoin’s Iris Scans Sparked Health Risk Fears As is widely known, Worldcoin uses iris-scanning orbs to capture and verify an individual’s unique biometric data. However, earlier this month, Kenya’s health Secretary Susan Nakhumicha Wafula warned that Kenyans who took part in iris scans for tokens are potentially exposed to health Risks. Susan told her fellow lawmakers that initial inquiries found the company’s iris scanning technology potentially exposed hundreds of thousands of Kenyans to health Risks. She further added that there may be Kenyans out there already experiencing different complications or changes in their bodies after undergoing the scan. Therefore, she recommends that individuals seek medical help if they develop any abnormal conditions. Following the revelation, one X user stated that he was shocked to hear that Kenyans who took part in the iris scans are experiencing health problems because he was scanned in October last year and he experienced zero health issues. I

am shocked to hear that Kenyans who had their eyeballs scanned by Worldcoin are experiencing health problems. As someone who was scanned in October last year, I have no idea what that woman is talking about. I thought she would say that next grant should at least be 10 coins! — Ja Loka (@_fels1) September 1, 2023 Worldcoin is a Cryptocurrency project that aims to create a network of users who verify their humanness and proof of personhood to eradicate Bots or AI Algorithms to build the world’s largest human identity and financial network. The project was founded by ChatGPT’s founders Sam Altman and Alex Blania.

Samantha Ngina Uhuru’s Youthful Niece Who Bagged Sh84 Million COVID-19 Tender

As the famous saying goes, One Man’s Meat is Another Man’s Poison.

While the rest of the world battled the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and its life-changing effects, a select few local and global entrepreneurs took advantage of the global gloom to turn around their fortunes and enjoy abnormal profits.

Despite businesses being some of the worst-hit victims of the deadly outbreak, some innovators, manufacturers, contractors and e-commerce investors collectively shared some of the biggest chunks of Coronavirus millions which circulated as nations rushed to respond to a virus which, in many ways, somewhat sparked a new world order.

Here in Kenya, a long list of companies that were previously grappling with brutal impacts of the harsh economic conditions suddenly roared back to life thanks to lucrative government tenders which saw them cash in millions.

According to Daily Nation, Uhuru Kenyatta received roughly Sh223 billion from several international players as part of his COVID-19 warchest.

The money was wired to Central Bank within 60 days and as the publication further revealed, Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) was the highest recipient of the funds since the government solely trusted the institution with the procurement of medical equipment.

Once the ‘great’ news hit the streets, some of the country’s biggest tenderpreneurs pitched camp at KEMSA offices yearning for a piece of the gigantic pie.

During the heat of the moment, some even chartered planes to China to physically fly in COVID-19 medical supplies while others prefered to wait for the goods (personal protective gear, ventilators and other medical items) to land in Nairobi, then snap them up in bulk.

A different group chose the strategy of waylaying nations at the airport and diverting them to private warehouses, waiting for the procurement whistle to be blown.

Records show that between the time Ministry of Health announced that the virus had come into the country and June 4, one State agency channelled close to Sh2 billion to nine companies for the government’s response to the pandemic.

This period of rushed resolutions gave some government ministries and county officials the perfect cover to break procurement laws, and order goods worth billions of shillings in bulk from little known companies and briefcase entities, some of which lacked the capacity to deliver.

The supply of PPEs and masks proved to be the most lucrative for companies, with many selling a single PPE kit for Sh9,000 and one KN95 mask for Sh700.

One such incident which stood out is that of one Ivy Minyow Onyango (barely 30 years old), who on January 22 (weeks before the pandemic’s first case was reported in Africa) walked into the companies registry and enrolled an entity named Kilig Limited.

Several weeks later, her company was handpicked and handed a Sh4 billion offer to supply hundreds of thousands of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs), with each kit set to be delivered at an inflated cost of Sh9,000, from the then market price of Sh4,500, according to recent revelations in Parliament.

In another incident which somehow vindicates former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s profound declaration during a 2016 press conference, another one of the firms reported to have received the mouth-watering tenders is Ziwala Limited, a firm deeply associated with members of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s family.

For a quick refresh of the mind, in October 2016, the then NASA Leader Raila Odinga called a press conference at his Capitol Hill Office where he sensationally accused President Uhuru Kenyatta’s extended family of being involved in the alleged Sh5.2 billion scandal at the Ministry of Health which was then under investigation (and has never been resolved to this day).

In front of the glaring cameras, Raila cited internal audit reports of the Ministry of Health (MOH) to show that Sandales International Ltd, which had been paid Sh41 million by Ministry of Health was owned by President Uhuru’s sister Ms Nyokabi Muthama, cousin Ms Kathleen Kihanya and Mr Samson Kamiri as directors.

“This scandal is President Kenyatta’s. He must deal with it as such. He must tell the country what he knows when he knew it and what he did when he knew it!” thundered an angry Odinga.

His words from four years ago are now once again as relevant.

According to the companies registry, Ziwala Limited is owned by Samantha Ngina Muthama (daughter to the President’s younger sister Nyokabi Muthama) and June Nduta Kinyua.

The firm was awarded a Sh84million tender to supply 120,000 pieces of KN95 masks, with KEMSA procuring the masks at an inflated price of about Sh700 per piece.

The retail price at the time was Ksh 500 per piece.

Samantha Ngina and June Nduta Kinyua Besides being cousins, Kathleen Kihanya and her cousin Nyokabi Muthama are also closely linked to the Kenyatta Trust. At the organisation, Nyokabi is a director while Kathleen is a mentor with President Uhuru as a Patron.

June Nduta Kinyua is Kathleen Kihanya’s daughter while Samantha Ngina Muthama is Nyokabi Muthama’s daughter.

On its official company website, ziwala.co.ke notes that the company is privately owned and managed.

Its directors are listed as June Kinyua and Njau Muriuki, both of whom are cousins as their mothers Mumbi (Muriuki’s mother) and Kathleen (June Kinyua’s mother) are siblings.

June and Njau are, therefore, niece and nephew to President Uhuru Kenyatta.

However, according to official search at the Company Registry dated 16th July 2020, the current directors and shareholders of Ziwala Limited are Samantha Ngina Muthama with 400 Shares and June Nduta Kinyua with 600 Shares.

Both also interestingly share a common address: P.O. Box 19495 GPO Nairobi.

How the daughters June Nduta Kinyua (Kathleen’s daughter) and Samantha Ngina Muthama (Nyokabi’s Daughter) bagged such a lucrative deal in a state agency has set tongues wagging, with many Kenyans worried that the critical Health sector might indeed be the first family’s preferred cash cow.

Also worth noting is that this fresh scandal involving Uhuru’s nieces and nephews comes barely a month after another family member Peter Kihanya suddenly increased his shareholding in betting firm SportPesa just days after the gambling industry giant regained its license and sports betting taxes were waived by Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukuru Yattani.

Peter Kihanya is an uncle to both June Nduta Kinyua and Njau Muriuki being the elder brother to their mothers Kathleen and Mumbi Kihanya.

June is named after their late grandmother Grace Nduta, mother to Josphat Muiruri Kihanya, their patriarch, who passed on in 2016.

On the father’s side, June Kinyua is the daughter of Ernest Kinyua Kamau (Director of Tea Holdings Ltd based in Limuru) whose father is former nominated MP Jackson Kamau Chege as per court documents filed in 2007.

June Kinyua, a University of Buckingham graduate, appears to be the eldest of the three cousins who are linked to Zimala Limited.

From photos which have been circulating online, its rather evident she has already started a family.

Njau Muriuki also went to United Kingdom for further studies and graduated around 2015.

Samantha Ngina Muthama’s social media accounts reveal she is barely past her mid-twenties.

Both also interestingly share a common address: P.O. Box 19495 GPO Nairobi.

Samantha Ngina Muthama’s social media accounts reveal she is barely past her mid-twenties.

In May, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe vowed to crush cartels in the Ministry of Health, but some very senior employees of the government who were perceived to be part of the cartels refused to be transferred. Seemingly, they enjoy protection from higher authorities, and Kagwe seems to have given up.

Despite the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC) launching investigations into the Covid-19 billions, the investigations might not see the light of the day, like we have seen previously in scandals involving the first family.

It remains to be seen how the State House will react to this latest alleged scandal involving members of the first family.

In 2018, President Uhuru promised Kenyans that he will spare no one in the fight against graft.

“You can be my brother or my sister or my closest political ally but if you are corrupt we will fight you,” he then sensationally pledged.

But if the handling of the scandal involving Kathleen Kihanya and Nyokabi Muthama and their company Limited is any precedent, nothing will be done to Ngina Muthama, June Kinyua and Njau Muriuki or their company Zamala Limited.

Other firms that have landed multi-million-shilling contracts at KEMSA include Accenture Kenya Limited, whose ownership we could not verify with certainty as we could not find any company registered by that exact name at the company registry.

The mystery firm is among those that were awarded contracts, whose budgets were not covered by the Kemsa budget, putting them at the centre of the ongoing fraud investigations.

Abyssinia Group of Industries (AGI), like others, was awarded a contract to supply 30,000 pieces of N95 face masks at a cost of Sh900 each which saw the company make Sh27 million.

The name of the firm’s directors could not be found since its record does not exist on the online public portal of the registrar of companies.

GMP Certification in Saudi Arabia

GMP Certification in Saudi Arabia

What is the GMP Certification in Saudi Arabia?

Good manufacturing practices (GMP) are essential to the production of compliant medical and pharmaceutical products. In most cases, GMP is a requirement for businesses that want to sell their products or services outside of the country. As such, businesses operating in Saudi Arabia need to understand the regulations and requirements surrounding GMP certification. It is also important for smaller businesses as it makes them more accountable and transparent in their operations with stakeholders. What does it entail, what are the benefits of getting certified, and what can be failing to get certified mean for your business? This guide provides an overview of GMP certification in Saudi Arabia as well as some potential benefits and risks associated with getting certified.

What is the process of getting GMP Certification in Saudi Arabia a Little Easier?

Getting GMP certification in Saudi Arabia can be a challenge for any business. To make it harder, the government mandates that all pharmaceutical companies in the country have a GMP license. The country doesn’t have an official system that regulates the manufacturing process, and the regulatory bodies don’t have much of a reach. If you want to get certified as a manufacturer in Saudi Arabia, you’ll need to ensure that your facility meets all of the requirements. Ensure you are equipped with the right tools, strategies, and support to make getting your GMP certification more accessible.

What are the benefits of GMP Certification in Saudi Arabia?

Medicines with high-quality production standards are more reliable and safer for patients.

GMP certification is the only type of accreditation that ensures pharmaceutical companies maintain a certain level of operational rigor, which makes sure products meet certain standards.

It’s essential for any company that wants to manufacture medicines in Saudi Arabia.

Many healthcare professionals believe that when manufacturers follow strict regulations and guidelines, pharmaceuticals are less likely to be contaminated or to have inconsistent quality. Therefore, it is not just important for medical practitioners who trust medicines made by certified companies but it’s necessary as well.

The GCC countries have experienced a lot of growth in the healthcare industry.

The region has managed to develop into one of the most prosperous regions in the world, not just for healthcare but also for the entire economy.

This is because there are so many benefits to operating within the GCC region, especially if you operate within its healthcare sector.

Operating within this sector will require you to meet certain regulatory standards.

To help you meet these standards and operate within the country’s laws and regulations, you must become a member of an organization that specializes in GMP certification in your country.

The GMP program is a mandatory requirement for anyone working in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

Considering the strict regulations and penalties that are enforced for anyone who does not adhere to these guidelines, it is good to have an integrated system in place.

What Exactly Is a Social Enterprise?

A social enterprise is designed to generate social advantages while also earning a profit. A social company will almost certainly hire people from underprivileged communities and from various backgrounds. A social enterprise's employment credentials will most likely differ from those of a standard for-profit firm, based on experience and education. However, there are several characteristics that all social companies have in common. An company must have a B Impact Score of at least 80% to be eligible for a social business certification.

Social Entrepreneurship UK is the national organisation for the social enterprise movement in the United Kingdom. This group, formerly known as the Social Entrepreneurship Coalition, advocates for social enterprise. It also helps comparable organizations in the United Kingdom, such as Social Enterprise Scotland and the Social Enterprise Network in Wales. In the United Kingdom, it has a network of approximately 2,000 social companies. Through the DWP Future Employment Fund, it has also assisted in the creation of approximately 500 social enterprise jobs. In addition, the firm provides consulting and commercial support to worldwide social entrepreneurs.

A social company should strive to improve the world. Its objectives are not simply to better society, but also to affect the industry in which they work. Approximately 96% of social companies attempt to influence other groups. While some social enterprises are large corporations, others are small businesses with a distinct mission and aims. They want to improve the world for the next generation of entrepreneurs. It is vital to distinguish social entrepreneurship from other for-profit businesses, which are often classified as nonprofits rather than for-profit organizations.

While the paradigm for a social enterprise varies, it is often a private firm governed by private law. It might be a limited liability corporation, a civic group, or a church. It might also be a separate non-profit organization. A social enterprise's structure should be able to support its objective. Some social businesses are non-profit entities, while others are for-profit subsidiaries of charities. In any event, it is critical that the legal framework supports the enterprise's social aims. A lawyer may be needed to assist with this.

KOMAZA's social entrepreneurship model is an example. The group plants trees with smallholder farmers in rural Kenya and exploits economies of scale to get access to high-value markets for their produce. Another example is RISE Kenya, which operates climate change programs in Kenya's semi-arid Eastern Province. It also operates weaving programs that use traditional weaving techniques and sells the finished goods in Nairobi and across the world. The model, however, is not without hazards.

Creating a social company needs a solid research approach as well as a dedication to a cause. Societal enterprises, unlike typical businesses, are not managed for profit and are meant to assist solve a social problem. A social enterprise is owned by its investors, who reinvest earnings in the firm's growth. Investors can withdraw their initial money as the company expands. The social enterprise concept is an excellent approach to alleviate poverty while also providing social benefits.

There are several instances of social enterprises. They not only provide jobs, but they also assist to reduce poverty and enhance the quality of life in communities. Mothers2Mothers is one such non-profit organization. This group trains mentor moms to assist HIV-positive women in finishing their treatment plans. The charity takes use of the global community's investment in antiretroviral pharmaceuticals and other related treatments to assist HIV-positive women in their communities. This social company has nonprofit origins, but it has also found a place in government.

The Thai Royal Family has been interested in social ventures as well. The Mae Fah Luang Foundation established the Doi Tung and Singha Park Chiangrai brands. These social companies employ over 1200 jobless persons and assist the province avoid the onset of a drug issue. Furthermore, the enterprises create revenue for the towns and help them attract visitors from all around the nation. This, in turn, generates employment for people in need.

A social venture may also be profitable for the founders. A successful social firm combines its social goal with productivity, and revenues are reinvested in the cause. It has the potential to provide jobs for individuals in need, increase access to clean water, and have a good influence on the community. It is also a moral business strategy that emphasizes environmentally friendly manufacturing and responsible sourcing. These are just a handful of the aspects that contribute to social businesses being a successful business model.

Pandora Papers: The secret owners of UK property worth billions

The secret owners of more than 1,500 UK properties bought using offshore firms have been uncovered by a BBC investigation.

The details are featured in the Pandora Papers leak of offshore financial documents and list property with an estimated value in excess of £4bn.

The owners include high-profile foreign politicians, individuals accused of corruption and UK political donors.

Ministers say they will bring in a new law when they have parliamentary time.

Successive Conservative governments have pledged to introduce legislation making it compulsory to name those owning property via foreign companies in a bid to stamp out money-laundering.

Among the revelations:

Retail magnate Sir Philip Green and his wife went on a buying spree of London property while the couple's recently sold High Street empire teetered on the verge of collapse

The Qatari ruling family purchased two of London's most expensive homes through offshore companies, saving millions of pounds in tax

Ukrainian billionaire Gennadiy Bogolyubov, who is under investigation by the FBI and had hundreds of millions in assets frozen in a fraud case, owns more than £400m of UK property

A £40m London office block is owned by the son of sanctioned Russian oligarch Mikhail Gutseriev

The BBC worked with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the Guardian, Finance Uncovered and other media outlets to identify in the leaked files the individuals behind overseas companies that owned property in England and Wales.

Owning real estate through an offshore firm is legal, and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing in simply using a foreign company to purchase property.

However, the UK government recently raised its own assessment of the money laundering risk for the property market from "medium" to "high".

The greatest level of risk is where there are "difficulties in determining the ultimate beneficial owners", according to a Home Office report in December 2020.

It comes as a number of world leaders - including the King of Jordan and the ruling family of Azerbaijan - have featured in the Pandora Papers leak after buying property in the UK using offshore companies.

The Greens

Sir Philip and Tina Green

The wife of retail tycoon Sir Philip Green purchased multi-million-pound prime London real estate as BHS, the department store chain they had owned, headed for collapse.

Her identity as the buyer of properties in London was hidden because they were bought through anonymous companies based in the British Virgin Islands, a tax haven.

The purchases included a £15m apartment in Mayfair and a new home for their daughter near Buckingham Palace, bought for £10.6m in 2016.

The buying spree took place in the months after the Greens sold BHS for a token sum to a one-time bankrupt who had no retail experience. The chain collapsed, leading to the loss of 11,000 jobs and vacant sites in town centres.

The downfall also led to an outcry when it emerged the business had left a black hole of up to £571m in its pension fund.

Through their lawyers, both Sir Philip and Lady Green declined to answer detailed questions, suggesting that these were private matters.

Qatari Ruling Family

The ruling family of Qatar

The Pandora Papers leak also reveals the property portfolio of the Qatari ruling family owned through another cross-border network of companies.

The royal Al-Thani family purchased two properties on one of the world's most expensive terraces, overlooking Regent's Park in London. They were bought through offshore companies, saving millions of pounds in tax.

BBC analysis found numerous other properties owned by members of the family through these structures, estimated to be worth over £650m.

The Qatari government did not respond to questions about the BBC's findings.

Gennadiy Bogolyubov

Gennadiy Bogolyubov is a Ukrainian billionaire who is under investigation by the FBI for money laundering.

He and his business partner are accused of defrauding the bank they founded of more than £1bn.

Court documents included in the Pandora Papers reveal him to be the ultimate owner of a collection of UK properties likely to be worth over £400m, including a building on Trafalgar Square.

They are held via a network of companies, some offshore, that hide the identity of the owners.

Mr Bogolyubov is the co-founder of PrivatBank, Ukraine's largest lender.

The bank was nationalised in 2016 after regulators found a £4bn hole in its balance sheets.

PrivatBank has been pursuing Mr Bogolyubov and his business partner Igor Kolomoisky through court action in England and the US, trying to reclaim more than £2bn relating to the money lost during their leadership.

In 2020 the US Department of Justice sought to seize commercial properties in Texas, Ohio and Kentucky from the pair, suspecting that they were "acquired using funds misappropriated from Privatbank". The court cases are ongoing.

Mr Bogolyubov's assets are currently subject to a worldwide freeze, secured in court by PrivatBank in 2017.

In 2016 he decided to leave the country and settle in Switzerland, partly for "tax reasons".

Lawyers for Mr Bogolyubov declined to comment as legal action is ongoing.

Mikhail Gutseriev

Mikhail Gutseriev is a Russian oligarch who was sanctioned by the UK in August for his close relationship with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko. The Pandora Papers reveal that his son owns a multi-million pound office block through a secret offshore company, purchased for more than £40m.

Mr Gutseriev is the founder of Safmar Group, a Russian conglomerate with interests in oil, coal, property and retail.

Following the crackdown on human rights and democracy in Belarus in 2020, the UK and EU have recently brought in sanctions against President Lukashenko, along with Mr Gutseriev and other close associates.

The British government has accused the Belarusian regime of continuing to "crush democracy and violate human rights".

It described Mr Gutseriev as "a prominent Russian businessman who is one of the main private investors in Belarus and a longstanding associate of Alexander Lukashenko". It added that he had "provided support for the government of Belarus, including through use of his business interests".

Mr Gutseriev is no longer involved in Safmar, which is now part-owned by his son, Said, a British citizen.

Said Gutseriev's representatives told the BBC he did not have "any business links with his father".His lavish wedding made headlines in 2016 - it featured performances by Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias and was reported to have cost £1bn.

What is the UK government doing?

Plans for a register of foreign companies owning UK property were first announced in 2016 by then Prime Minister David Cameron, so that "corrupt individuals and countries will no longer be able to move, launder and hide illicit funds through London's property market, and will not benefit from our public funds".

Draft legislation was published two years later and "progress" on changing the law was promised in the 2019 Queen's Speech.

Earlier this year, following the G7 summit, the government reiterated its commitment to create a public register of overseas entities who own UK real estate.

However, the law has still not been introduced to Parliament and was not listed as one of the government's legislative priorities at this year's Queen's Speech.

Labour MP Margaret Hodge told the BBC that when in government David Cameron and his Chancellor George Osborne "promised us that they would create a public register of beneficial ownership here in the UK... but we've been waiting since 2016 for that promise to be enacted".

She added: "It's ready, it's sitting there, it's not complicated... but it has yet to emerge... so it's a scandal that that's not happened."

The government says it is cracking down on money laundering with tougher laws and enforcement, and that it will introduce a register of offshore companies owning UK property when parliamentary time allows.

World leaders

UK properties owned offshore by foreign leaders

The UK property holdings of the King of Jordan and the ruling family of Azerbaijan were exposed by BBC Panorama on Sunday.

Lawyers for King Abdullah said he used his personal wealth to buy the homes and there was nothing improper about him using offshore firms to do so.

Other revelations from the Pandora Papers highlight further links between foreign leaders and offshore ownership of UK property.

The family of Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta, which has dominated the country's politics since independence, secretly owned offshore companies for decades.

One of these firms bought an apartment in central London, according to Land Registry records.

The company was set up by Ngina Kenyatta, the president's mother, and her two daughters Kristina and Anna.

In 2018, Mr Kenyatta told the BBC Hardtalk programme that his family's wealth was known to the public, and as president he had declared his assets as required by law.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky participated in a network of offshore companies, co-owned with his long-time friends and TV business partners, the Guardian revealed on Sunday.

These firms held assets including apartments near London's Regent's Park.

A number of world leaders have released statements denying wrongdoing after featuring in the leak.

Tory donors

Closer to home, major political donors to the Conservatives have invested in properties through offshore companies.

Conservative donors

Mohammed Amersi, bought two properties using offshore companies: a Mayfair townhouse and a country home in Gloucestershire. He was revealed by Panorama to have been involved in one of Europe's biggest corruption scandals. He denies any wrongdoing.

Lubov Chernukhin has given more than £1.8m to the party since 2012. The Pandora Papers leak revealed the scale of the secret offshore wealth she shares with her husband, a former Russian minister. It includes a house near Regent's Park in London now worth about £38m, and a mansion in Oxfordshire bought for £10m. The properties were secretly acquired through a network of offshore companies. Mrs Chernukhin's lawyers say she is a British citizen and is entitled to do as she wishes with her money

Russian businessman Victor Fedotov's companies have given £900,000 to MPs. He purchased a Hampshire manor house through a network of offshore companies. Files in the Pandora Papers suggest he made millions from a project that became mired in allegations of corruption. Mr Fedotov's lawyers said "there is no evidence whatsoever" he behaved improperly.

The BBC searched for information about donors to all of the political parties among the Pandora Papers documents but the stories that emerged from the files were about Conservative donors.

The Pandora Papers is a leak of almost 12 million documents and files exposing the secret wealth and dealings of world leaders, politicians and billionaires. The data was obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in Washington DC and has led to one of the biggest ever global investigations. More than 600 journalists from 117 countries have looked at the hidden fortunes of some of the most powerful people on the planet. BBC Panorama and the Guardian have led the investigation in the UK.

Particularly, call center offshoring is becoming a popular BPO activity. In a survey conducted by Deloitte, 35% of the 300 global respondents surveyed answered they outsource their call center services.

BPO in South Africa is growing at an accelerated rate, with South Africa rapidly establishing itself as a reliable, world-renowned BPO destination. Below are some of the reasons why South Africa has become the new destination for firms offshoring their call center services.

Cost reductions Cost plays an important role in outsourcing a business process. Based on steady-state operating, companies can save around 50% by offshoring call center work to South Africa, as per the industry association, BPESA.

Large talent pool Each year, about 410,000 English-speaking people join the national labor force of South Africa. And not just in the English language, many South Africans are multilingual and well-versed in German, French, Dutch, and Italian.

With this broad language skill set, people of South Africa can give emotional quotient (EQ) responses to consumers, resulting in exceptionally high service levels that often surpass other locations' service levels.

Broad skill sets The workforce of South African is skilled to give entry-level service than sophisticated back-office tasks. BPESA notes that the third stage education system of South Africa creates thrice more qualified actuaries than in India, along with large numbers of other specialists.

For straight 6 years in a row, South Africa has excelled in WEF’s record of 140 countries for giving the highest level of Reporting and Auditing Standard. And the fact that the data protection laws of South Africa are in line with the laws implemented in the UK and EU, brings an added layer of confidence to the businesses looking for offshore services.

The city of Durban is a hub for telemarketing and maintenance activity, with corporations from the UK and Australia outsourcing outbound customer calls to vendors there. Call center in Kenya and call center in Egypt are also expanding at a fast pace.

Cultural fit It is universally admitted that South Africans have a strong cultural association with people living in the UK, Europe, America, and Australia. The accent of South Africa is notably more neutral making it understandable for customers in the UK.

Accessibility South Africa is known for its world-class infrastructure. Visiting South Africa is also easy. The cost of living in the main cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg is considerably lower than other BPO centers such as Kuala Lumpur and New Delhi.

Conclusion In the fiercely competitive globalized market of today's world, finding an environmentally and economically stable destination for outsourcing can be a huge challenge. However, with the above-stated benefits, we can conclude that South Africa efficiently brings it all to the table. Right from offering reduced costs, to having a large pool of talent with broad skill sets is what makes South Africa the new destination for international business and companies seeking to outsource their call center services.

Who are Dark Basin?

For years, researchers have tracked a group of hackers-for-hire that targeted US-based Net Neutrality and anti-Exxon campaigners. Now Citizen Lab has identified the cybermercenaries behind these "Dark Basin" attacks: Belltrox, a New Delhi company.

https://citizenlab.ca/2020/06/dark-basin-uncovering-a-massive-hack-for-hire-operation/

"Dark Basin’s targets were often on only one side of a contested legal proceeding, advocacy issue, or business deal."

Their targets: "dozens of journalists in multiple countries," "net neutrality advocacy groups," "organisations working on a campaign called #ExxonKnew."

Also: "elected and senior government officials, hedge funds, multiple industries."

Citizen Lab makes a good case that Belltrox is behind these attacks: "director Sumit Gupta, was indicted in CA in 2015 for his role in a similar hack-for-hire scheme."

https://citizenlab.ca/2020/06/dark-basin-uncovering-a-massive-hack-for-hire-operation/

"BellTroX and its employees appear to use euphemisms for promoting their services online, including 'Ethical Hacking' and 'Certified Ethical Hacker.' BellTroX’s slogan is: 'you desire, we do!'"

BellTroX staff activities listed on LinkedIn include:

* Email Penetration * Exploitation * Corporate Espionage * Phone Pinger * Conducting Cyber Intelligence Operation

Here's a partial list of environmental groups targeted by Belltrox:

* Rockefeller Family Fund * Greenpeace * Center for Intl Environmental Law * Oil Change International * Public Citizen * Conservation Law Foundation * Union of Concerned Scientists * 350.org

Other US-based NGOs targeted by Belltrox, during the campaign to save Net Neutrality:

* Fight for the Future * Free Press

Belltrox targeted law firms working on corporate litigation in "US, UK, Israel, France, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Kenya, and Nigeria."

Citizen Lab also found evidence that Belltrox had been retained to intervene in divorces and other personal disputes.

Hilariously, Belltrox didn't secure their own phishing servers, so Citizen Lab was able to access the logs and see how they'd been used.

As the report highlights, Belltrox is just one high-profile, sloppy actor in a large, shadowy industry of hacks-for-hire.

These cybermercenaries work for corporations and wealthy individuals as personal dirty tricks squads, attacking government officials, activists, and journalists who threaten to expose their wrongdoing and corruption.

Citizen Lab has alerted the DoJ to their findings.

This project builds on work previously done by EFF, and was undertaken in conjunction with Nortonlifelock.
