In addition to publishing groundbreaking investigations, ICIJ has also dedicated years of effort to putting the power of the leaked data in the hands of the public through the Offshore Leaks Database

EVERY REGION AFFECTED
Leading politicians, governments, and elites from all over the world have been roiled by the Pandora Papers, which changed the global conversation on tax havens and financial crime.

  • A whirlwind of immediate impact: Fallout from the Pandora Papers came fast and furious in the first few months after we published the global investigation. 

  • Ongoing coverage: The ICIJ team continues to cover key developments and consequences of the Pandora Papers, which like previous offshore leaks, are expected to play out for months and years to come. You can follow along on our website. 

EXPLORE THE DATA
The data behind the Pandora Papers has been painstakingly verified, structured into standardized fields and made searchable in ICIJ’s Offshore Leaks Database.

We believe that providing this data to all for free helps shine a light on the damage perpetrated by the offshore economy.

AN UNPRECEDENTED PARTNERSHIP
With more than 600 journalists from 150 media outlets reaching 117 countries participating, the Pandora Papers is the largest reporting collaboration the world has ever seen. 

  • Backlash: Several of ICIJ’s partners faced government crackdowns, fiery denials and denouncements, and personal attacks in the aftermath of their explosive investigations on financial secrecy. 

BEHIND THE SCENES

ICIJ spent two years sifting through 12 million confidential files and coordinating a team of hundreds of investigative journalists around the world.
