The biggest leak of financial information in history alleges a number of world leaders are implicated in hiding wealth in offshore accounts.

The so-called Panama Papers are part of a leak of 11 million files from the database of Mossack Fonseca, the world's fourth-largest offshore law firm.

The confidential documents reveal how the rich and powerful use secret offshore tax havens to get around the law.

They reportedly show how the Panamanian law firm helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions and evade tax.

Could take a while to process all the information (and review for defamation), see: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-35918844

The documents show links to 72 current or former heads of state in the data, including dictators accused of looting their own countries.

Revealed: the $2bn offshore trail that leads to Vladimir Putin

A network of secret offshore deals and vast loans worth $2bn has laid a trail to Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin.

An unprecedented leak of documents shows how this money has made members of Putin’s close circle fabulously wealthy.

Though the president’s name does not appear in any of the records, the data reveals a pattern – his friends have earned millions from deals that seemingly could not have been secured without his patronage.

The documents suggest Putin’s family has benefited from this money – his friends’ fortunes appear his to spend.

The files are part of an unprecedented leak of millions of papers from the database of Mossack Fonseca, the world’s fourth biggest offshore law firm. They show how the rich and powerful are able to exploit secret offshore tax regimes in myriad ways.

The offshore trail starts in Panama, darts through Russia, Switzerland and Cyprus – and includes a private ski resort where Putin’s younger daughter, Katerina, got married in 2013.

The Panama Papers shine a particular spotlight on Sergei Roldugin, who is Putin’s best friend. Roldugin introduced Putin to the woman he subsequently married, Lyudmila, and is godfather to Putin’s older daughter, Maria.

More Fidentia info released, and some of Dudu Zuma's accounts discovered...
 
The commonality of rape of the people by officials seems to be communism. .
 
2014 background info from Sarwatch on Khulubuse Zuma:

http://sarwatch.org/drc/khulubuse-zuma%E2%80%99s-r100bn-oil-deal

The oil contract between Khulubuse Zuma and the DRC government was rapidly confirmed by Kabila’s “smash-and-grab” presidential decree in June 2010.

In that process, Kabila appropriated the oilfields from Irish oil giant Tullow Oil and allocated them to Khulubuse Zuma.

“The allocation [of the concessions] to Khulubuse Zuma reinforced the friendship between the two men,” said the City Press source.

Another source said Kabila had intended for the DRC oilfields to benefit the ANC. But he said, instead, that Khulubuse Zuma registered their ownership in the Virgin Islands – a haven of corporate anonymity.

A Panamanian law firm registered the two companies and a Swiss lawyer specialising in “business crime defence” was listed as the sole director of the two companies.

Khulubuse Zuma said this week that he was not the one to comment on an alleged discussion between his uncle and Kabila about the oilfields.

Neither Kabila’s office nor the presidency responded to any requests for comment.
