Dear Stan,
 

On May 9 ICIJ will publish what will likely be the largest-ever release of information about secret offshore companies and the people behind them, based on data from the Panama Papers investigation. The searchable database will include information about more than 200,000 companies, trusts, foundations and funds incorporated in 21 tax havens, from Hong Kong to Nevada in the United States.

This release is the next step in our ongoing year-long investigation; ICIJ and its partners will continue to investigate and publish more stories in the weeks and months to come.
The impact of Panama Papers has been epic. The investigation has led to high profile resignations, including the prime minister of Iceland; triggered official inquiries in multiple countries; and put pressure on world leaders and other politicians, such as Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron, to explain their connections to offshore companies. It sparked a new sense of urgency among lawmakers and regulators to close loopholes and make information about the owners of shell companies public.
We thank the thousands of people who have shown support for and the ICIJ and its parent organization, the Center for Public Integrity, since the release of Panama Papers, but our work is not done.  Your contributions are critical to our ability to support the operations and the systems that made Panama Papers possible – and for future investigations.

de wc toen dat gebeurde. Iemand iets gemerkt?
