-- Bei einem Industriegelände in Berlin-Marienfelde im Wert von rund 30 Mio. Euro ist es wahrscheinlich,
dass von den Geschäftsleuten Nicholas Werner und Alexandre Rene Garese russisches Schwarzgeld
gewaschen werden sollte.140 Da der Fall auf Basis durchgestochener Verträge aufgedeckt wurde, ist er

agree  Björn Vrooman: Not asker's text but same story: https://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/article119579108/Wie-das-Geld... The documents were leaked to the German Die Welt newspaper. I'd prefer the much more common "documents," though./FOMO.

leaked documents


Explanation:
The vastly more common term would be the above.
Countless examples to cite, not least of which:

"Media coverage of the leaked documents focused on claims that the U.S. government had ignored reports..."

breached contracts


Explanation:
I found an example of a dam being "breached" by a storm. The liquid reference seems quite common for this word, so I think in this case breached makes sense.
