MOSCOW (Reuters) – Three top editors from Russia’s RBC media group, whose outlets have published disclosures about the commercial interests of people close to President Vladimir Putin, left their jobs on Friday after disagreements with the group’s management.

The group’s RBC newspaper has in the past few months angered the Kremlin by reporting on the business interests of Putin’s son-in-law and written in detail about people in Putin’s circle named in the leaked “Panama Papers” as having offshore firms.

“In recent times we have talked a lot about how to further develop RBC and in these conversations we couldn’t reach a consensus about some important questions so the decision was taken to part company,” Nikolai Molibog, the company’s general director, said in a statement.
