Panama papers to reveal more names today

LAHORE (Staff Report) - Confidential details of offshore accounts in the Panama Papers — including politicians, bankers, judges and media personnel — will be revealed today (Monday).

The ICIJ has said all along it intended to publish the list of names and accounts in the Panama Papers — which it got from two German journalists who obtained the leak from a source — while withholding the actual documents. Those documents include everything from copies of people's passports to telephone numbers, Mossack Fonseca's internal emails and, in some cases, financial records, material that will not be included in tomorrow's release and will remain available only to the ICIJ and its journalist partners.

Earlier, a massive collection of Panama leaked documents had revealed faces behind offshore shell companies operating in secrecy to avoid taxes and launder money.
