2,000 Indian links in fresh ICIJ leak
The biggest leak of the century just got bigger. The ICIJ has published a massive trove of \'Panama Papers\' information on detailed offshore holding of companies in various tax haven nations including thousands of documents related to India linking close to 2,000 individuals, entities and addresses from the country.
New Delhi: The biggest leak of the century just got bigger. The ICIJ has published a massive trove of 'Panama Papers' information on detailed offshore holding of companies in various tax haven nations including thousands of documents related to India linking close to 2,000 individuals, entities and addresses from the country.
Until now, access to the total cache of 11.5 million documents was restricted to the ICIJ and a select group of international media.
The ICIJ published a searchable database that strips away the secrecy of nearly 214,000 offshore entities created in 21 jurisdictions, from Nevada to Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands.
A random check of the database for India displays about 22 offshore entities, 1,046 officers or individual links, 42 intermediaries and as many as 828 addresses within the country ranging from metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai to mofussil locations like that in Haryana’s Sirsa,
Bihar’s Muzaffarpur and Madhya Pradesh’s Mandasaur and state capital Bhopal. The searchable database is built on a portion of the documents leaked from the Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca and reveals more than 360,000 names of individuals and companies behind the anonymous shell firms, including prominent Indian names like Aishwarya Rai and Binani Cement.
However, the raw records of the firm have not been made available online, and neither all the information from the records has been put out. This has been done to prevent access to some personal data.
