Panama Papers - tax havens of the rich and powerful exposed
Eleven million documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca have been passed to German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung, which then shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. BBC Panorama is among 107 media organisations in 78 countries which have been analysing the documents. The BBC doesn't know the identity of the source
They show how the company has helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions and evade tax
Mossack Fonseca says it has operated beyond reproach for 40 years and never been accused or charged with criminal wrong-doing

Among the people exposed were Vladimir Putin, Iceland's Prime Minister, many Middle Eastern leaders, Spanish politicians and even footballer Lionel Messi
It is the biggest exposé of its kind ever with 2.6TB of data (more than WikiLeaks and Snowden)
disgusting
