flag A massive leak of financial records has exposed a global network of offshore companies used to hide wealth, evade taxes, and enable corruption, involving over 100,000 entities across multiple jurisdictions. flag The data, released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, reveals how wealthy individuals, politicians, and officials from countries including China, Russia, Canada, and the Philippines used secrecy havens to conceal assets like yachts and mansions. flag The leak highlights the role of banks, lawyers, and intermediaries in facilitating these arrangements, some of which enabled money laundering and fraud. flag While many offshore structures are legal, the revelations have spurred international scrutiny, policy changes, and calls for greater transparency, including proposals for public ownership registers and a global billionaire tax.
