"Yesterday I instructed the State Fiscal Service's individuals department to verify reports and find facts that we could check," Nasirov said at a press conference.

As reported, according to an investigation by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), which is based on documents from a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca, Poroshenko created three offshore companies for management of assets, including a confectionery corporation Roshen, without giving any details about this move in his report to tax services.

The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office said later it saw no crime in the 'Panama documents' of President Poroshenko's offshore property published in the media.
