Putin's name is not on any of the documents. He is the legal owner, it seems, of nothing untoward... When Putin wants to reward his friends, say critics, he does so with favorable bank loans or lucrative government contracts of the kind exposed in the Panama Papers.
When he wants something in return, so the theory goes, they had better deliver or risk the President's goodwill running out. In other words, power is what Putin has accumulated in his years of running Russia. Not cash. He has no use for it.
