Some of them had more than one mentions in the leaks.
The consortium of newsmen said it was putting the information online ‘in the public interest’ as ‘a careful release of basic corporate information’ as it builds on an earlier database of offshore entities.
The ICIJ said the database ‘allows users to explore the networks of companies and people that used — and sometimes abused —the secrecy of offshore locales with the help of Mossack Fonseca and other intermediaries’.
The Panama Papers have already shaken the world with the names of global leaders and celebrities in them. The database is accessible at https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/search?c=BGD&cat=1&e&j&q&utf8=%E2%9C%93
This ICIJ database contains information on almost 320,000 offshore entities that are part of the Panama Papers and the Offshore Leaks investigations. The data covers nearly 40 years up to the end of 2015 and links to people and companies in more than 200 countries and territories.
