In a major announcement, International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) on Tuesday shared plans to release online an enormous database of the documents included in the Panama Papers on 9 May, thereby revealing individuals named in the data who have so far escaped public scrutiny.
Issuing an update, the ICTJ said that it will publish information on more than 200,000 offshore entities on 9 May, and claimed that it would probably be the largest release of information about secret offshore companies and the people behind them.
The data, said the update, includes information about companies, trusts, foundations and funds incorporated in 21 tax havens, from Hong Kong to Nevada and links to people in more than 200 countries and territories.
