More than a dozen heads of state and government, including the King of Jordan and the Czech Prime Minister, have hidden millions in offshore tax havens, according to an investigation published Sunday by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) media consortium.
The so-called “Pandora Papers” investigation — involving some 600 journalists from media, including The Washington Post, the BBC and The Guardian — is based on the leak of some 11.9 million documents from 14 financial services companies around the world.
Some 35 current and former leaders are featured in the documents analyzed by the ICIJ -- facing allegations ranging from corruption to money laundering and global tax avoidance.
