Topic : Panama leaks expose offshore companies controlled by 140 politicians including Sharif family.
A massive leak of 11.5 million documents has exposed secret offshore dealings of celebrities and world leaders.
An investigation by more than 100 media groups, described as one of the largest such probes in history, revealed the hidden offshore assets of around 140 political figures including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif‘s family.
The vast stash of records was obtained from an anonymous source by German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung and shared with media worldwide by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
The documents, from around 214,000 offshore entities covering almost 40 years, came from Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-based law firm with offices in more than 35 countries.
