Trusts have long been a favoured wealth protection tool for the super-rich, but has this British invention been corrupted by its own tax havens? With potentially trillions tied up in these secretive structures, journalist Rob Byrne follows the trail of a superyacht from the Caribbean to the Channel Islands to try and understand how a centuries-old British concept has evolved into a powerful legal tool, sought after by some of Russia’s richest men.
