How would journalists be able to uncover this, nevermind getting their hands on the actual contract? It's so odd
The journalists got leaked documents from a Cyprus based company owned by a Russian oligarch. Since he owned a large share of the German travel company Tui they looked into it. Initially the big thing was that PwC seemd to help Russian oligarchs in sanction busting, which currently caused an investigation into it by the Cyprian authorities. However in those documents seems to have been this contract as well.
