Panama Papers(https://panamapapers.icij.org ) is about to release a second batch of documents regarding hundreds of thousands of offshore entities as part of its ongoing Panama Papers investigation, after the first round of leaked documents , released earlier this month, brought the dark financial practices of the world's elite to light, exposing the tax shelters of 140 politicians and public figures, including some powerful Nigerians.
The documents
will be released on May 9, with basic corporate information on more than
200,000 offshore entities made available in a searchable database.
The Panama Papers label refers to more than 11 million legal and
financial records of the world's power elite taken from Panama-based law firm,
Mossack Fonseca (www.mossfon.com) . The International
Consortium of Investigative Journalists-ICIJ (www.icij.org)
, a
German newspaper and other news groups spent more than a year scrutinising these
records.
ICIJ said
that the second batch will not include a "Data Dump" of the original
documents or the large-scale release of personal data, but it will be the
largest ever release of secret offshore companies and the people behind
them."
