Platforms change, but good journalism must remain.

“Pandora Papers”

The largest investigation in journalism history, the Pandora Papers exposes a shadow financial system that benefits the world’s most rich and powerful. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists spent two years sifting through 12 million confidential files and coordinating a team of 600 journalists from 117 countries. The award-winning reporting not only uncovered the offshore financial maneuvers of hundreds of politicians, billionaires, tycoons, oligarchs and criminals from around the world, but it also revealed the contours of an elite industry dedicated to maintaining the modern offshore system, giving rise to popular new harbors for financial secrecy such as the United States and Dubai. The project also explores how this shadow economy takes a global toll beyond lost tax revenue — harming everyday people and the public interest in often unexpected ways.
