LEAKED ‘PANAMA PAPERS’ REVEAL THE MASSIVE OFFSHORE WEALTH OF GLOBAL RULING ELITES The Panama Papers documents, covering a period from 1977 until last December, were leaked to more than 100 news organizations around the world, cooperating with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), a Washington, D.C.-based network. GOVERNMENTS ACROSS THE WORLD BEGAN INVESTIGATING POSSIBLE FINANCIAL WRONGDOING BY THE RICH AND POWERFUL ON MONDAY AFTER A LEAK OF FOUR DECADES OF DOCUMENTS FROM A PANAMANIAN LAW FIRM THAT SPECIALIZED IN SETTING UP OFFSHORE COMPANIES. The “Panama Papers” revealed financial arrangements of global politicians and public figures including friends of Russian President Vladimir Putin, relatives of the prime ministers of Britain, Iceland and Pakistan, and the president of Ukraine. While holding money in offshore companies is not illegal, journalists who received the leaked documents said they could provide evidence of wealth hidden for tax evasion, money laundering, sanctions busting, drug deals or other crimes.http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/leaked-panama-papers-reveal-the-massive-offshore-wealth-of-global-ruling-elite
