THE PANAMA PAPERS INVESTIGATION

ICIJ
Speaking in June at a summit hosted by renowned events company TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design) in Banff, Canada, Gerard Ryle, Director of The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), took the audience behind the scenes of the 12-month Panama Papers investigation. ICIJ, a project of The Center for Public Integrity, based the investigation on a trove of more than 11.5 million leaked files from the Panama-based Mossack Fonseca law firm.

A giant leak of more than 11.5 million financial and legal records exposes a system that enables crime, corruption and wrongdoing, hidden by secretive offshore companies.
