A huge leak of financial documents has exposed what is claimed to be the secret assets and dealings of some of the world’s richest people.
The collection of nearly 12 million files from 14 global financial services – known as the Pandora Papers – was published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
Among the world leaders which have luxury properties abroad and millions in offshore tax havens are Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
Al Jazeera’s Rosiland Jordan reports from Washington, DC, the US.

How about Free Julian Assangge freedom of speech
What about Europe?
the UK is Europe. Here in Belgium it is 1200 people on the list.
Many seek favor from a ruler, but from Yahweh comes the law for every human being.
@jarosław bielski Advocating the slaughter of the Canaanites, that was WICKED !!!!!
@CLUELESS JOE Husbands, untill my glory is to be insulted!
How long will you cling to vain things and turn to lies?
@jarosław bielski Glory ??? People starving, children raped, incurable diseases…
@CLUELESS JOE I vent my grief, reviving the memories of how I walked in the crowd, how I walked before it to the House of God amidst voices of joy and thanksgiving hymns, in the midst of the holiday noise.
@jarosław bielski I’m not a Satanist. I’m a Cathar. I curse the Creator and strive to dissolve in the light brought to us by Jesus.
oh really ! righteous and virtue people are exposed they are lords of democratic countries they are making foolish peoples to obtain lavish life in the name of democracy freedom of speech freedom of expression utilizing army for their own security to sit office commanding troops to fight to protect their luxurious Life
කවදාවත් මහින්ද මහත්තය හොරකම් කරන කෙනෙක් නෙවෙයි 🇱🇰🇱🇰 ඇයි මේ මහත්තයට mada ගහන්නේ
We have 2 troubling issues here. First is, the fact that there is a such a massive amount of taxation being avoided. The 2nd, is that these same entities are looting “our” tax revenues/assets/capital/governments. The plan is to make us all broke and in debt, so that all ownership of everything is by the top wealthiest … when we and our governments are all broke and in debt, we have, then, to depend on those with all the wealth for everything from healthcare to infrastructure, and they become the new governing bodies … we have been “invaded”.
He’s my president 🇰🇪🇰🇪but what are going through as country only God knows 😔😔😥😥😥 Everything is expensive ,,,no jobs ,, Corruption,, insecurity, hunger
BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
You are asking the king as who?
I heard king of qatar is also in the list 🙄
Hat’s off to this real journalist
Utter bollocks for idiots tax avoidance is perfectly legal, tax evasion is illegal.
The US, the UK, Canada, and Australia are the safe heavens for money stolen elsewhere. The Pandora papers hide the real big shots.
বাংলাদেশের কোন দুর্নীতিবাজ আছে কিনা তার তালিকা দেখতে চাই!! 🤭🤭🤭
CNN Doesn’t know anything about the Pandora Papers, in fact it absolutely ignores it
This is nothing 🤣🤣🤣 these are very very small amounts of money
Go deeper you will talk about US$ billions
For the mainstream to report this just tells you they’re probably going after those who are rich, but not aligned with the global cabal. Too many elites that are trying to control this world world AND doing this will get away scotch free. Example: Bill Gates, Obamas, Clintons, Rothchilds, Rockefeller, Paysuers…..
Azerbai who?
Kenya and kenyata family at the top.. what a shame! The Kenyans are over taxed and struggling to pay Chinese debt while some appears on Pandora papers as the first face.. As long as karma exists, the world changes. In this kenyatta family, There will always be karma to be taken care of.
No wonder why the world is so messed-up as of all most corrupts dishonest hidden faces are leaders. Hells are for those thieves and criminals.
It’s corrupt because Soros can get people like you to dance to his tune whenever he wants.
(the documents come from a group funded by Soros)
So what’s the news? Rich people are rich they look for places with low taxes? If it’s not a law breaking then it’s nothing but this socialist love to count someone else’s money. The disturbing part is though besides the rich everyone is so excited about does this dosier mean investments in the locations with lower taxes is some sort of wrongdoing nowadays and then apparently there is no information security in the investment world either bcs some journalists may just leak the millions of financial papers to the public and then brag about it….hmmmmm
Thank you.
Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram shutdown is definitely linked to this. They probably don’t want information to circulate.
This is only the beginning. 14 companies out of god knows how many.
We have to pay taxes, while some politicians of our countries (who even have great salaries) don’t pay their taxes.🤔
Katora Khan is a rich beggar. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩🇵🇰💩
Imran Khan has a court date, oct 27th/28th.
U.S military court schedule
Yet they will never be held to account
Are we worried about ethics here or just upset the government cannot get its hands on every bit of money there is?
any body have money such money , give me little bit for me I don’t have money
Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp shutdown is related to this
Exactly
I do think so..
What are the odds that this papers came out and the social platforms went down to stop them from going viral 🤔
That’s exactly what I was thinking
They always throw a distraction so we forget until the next scandal and the pattern continues.
this is stupid they dont name the us billionaires tax havens cuz they know it wont be published like whoever owns wash post
@Colm Cassidy zero wtf
bruh the business analyst in the end just stfu
That’s the why behind Social Media is down!!!
noepe
Oh this? This is just history repeating itself and nothing further will happen..
Show me a rich politician and I’ll show you a corrupt politician.
I mean… just show me a normal politician and I’ll show you a corrupt politician. They all suck.
I don’t care how much governments claim to tax the top money earners, they always use loopholes to get out of paying those taxes. Loopholes created by and approved by legislation. It’s been going on for decades.
Have you all looked into the non profit organizations put together by some of the wealthiest in the world?
Talk about money laundering at the highest level. There it is. BLM is a prime example. People think they’re donating to communities but they’re only donating to the dnc for Democrat candidates.
Candidates don’t have to return their unused donations.
All the elites are cheating and stealing. We have to stop letting them do it.
Looting their wealth and making them fight each other. Modern day colonialism simplified.
The usual reaction, deny and lie, lie and deny. The repuplicans in the us have made a virtue out of this mantra and now every politician apes them. What happened to the Boston tea mantra? No taxation without representation? How about no taxation till the rich and their political cabals pay their share?
How DISHONEST! At 1:38 “other leaders with lucrative holdings” appears a video of Putin & Erdogan. Yet nothing is said about them in the entire piece & there are no documents that mentions either of them. What a shameful piece of reporting. Journalistic malpractice at its best.
They should all get arrested, crooks
“I say thing deep State like about climate crisis”
Poor are dying while Rich is getting richer and richer by any means.
The elite will get away with it.
Climate change isn’t the world’s biggest problem, the RICH ARE, thieves to their cold black hearts, we think it was a Rich elitists gang that released COVID to test the waters to eliminate the poor
Rich people are rich because of corruption, they can afford to manipulate the truth and shut up the truth.
ThEY ALL IN ON IT.
🤣 No worries. “My gov’t will investigate my gov’t and get to the bottom of these activites!” 👌🏽 😂😂😂
Its time for a revolution my friends
If you’re talkin about this….what’s really going on
They deny it and leave the loopholes open for themselves and their friends.
Corruption is rife in politics.
One more reason to OUTLAW banks and money!
Lots of government leaders are corrupt and cheating the people
rich people hate the poor.
i dont believe in government transparency or oligarch transparency not every country is democratic. i hate westerners.
I trust my country Nigeria will be there.
HIDOP MELAYU ISLEY !! TAKDIRRRR TAKDIRRRR TAKDIRRRR .
C’mon, they’re just naive and gullible puppets!!! 🤣🤣🤣
We don’t need a revolution, we need the provably corrupt politicians, judges and others to be held accountable. Young, black men have some time and lost their lives over negligible offenses, yet our supposed leaders are getting away with theft on a grande scale.
Aljazeera is not telling about Qatari rulers overseas companies, that is no go area for Aljazeera.
People don’t get rich by being good or playing fair.
We are still in the dark ages. We could evolve if we wanted to.
Eat the GREEDY
Are the Pandora papers real?🙌👏
Yeah ok we all know now but nothing is gonna happen about it is there so why bother with all this
P.m imran khan will not let them get away with it guaranteed
So there’s no law for it so basically nothing is gonna happen then wow so whats the point of this news
Israel and america is a terrorist
We have known this for a Long time, that some Superrich are doing it. Only the exact facts were not known. Gud Job! Really shameful, what has been uncovered! Look to our planet, what these people are capable of!!!
I think trumps taxes opened a lot of doors
Taliban not in the list?
Imran Khan is a great man
Next step: now release Julian Assange…
Thanks Intellectweb
So basically nothing’s changed. We all know this for ages🙄🙄🙄
What about Trump and Biden?
Oh look the special pay station that’s only open to corrupt politicians 🤡🙄
Please find out Bangladeshi PM soon and his associates corruption.
Not interested unless US is exposed
As a matter of fact not everyone has to play by the same rules,most of our so called leaders are flat out scum or the earth
Take it ALL away and give it the the poor.
The Rich are getting Richer and Biden is one of those who is getting Rich off the poor .
They made it Legal before they did this. Now they can say “Its legal, we didn’t do anything wrong”. They want us to believe that Right and Wrong is the same as Legal and illegal.
people have no idea how much corruption there is in the world.
Please find countries who are linked doing corruptions to all that money easy to do just ask any of these politician to prove from where the money is my accounts like our banks today over a certain amount you need to prove !! For all citizens in each country legitimate to ask!!!
Why don’t you mention your leader, the almighty Qatar’s Emir involved in the pandora scandal? Fools

Politics is a ponzi scheme
America take every options to destroy other countries now fake journalists and fake reports 😂🤣😂
Expose Al Jazeera too.
It’s not surprising that such behaviour is happening. This is the ULTIMATE dream for many
A great plan to tear down Jordanian by the giant corp. This paper is an act of war against good economic countries , and shows clearly that giants corps are dying and using this exposed alleged politicians as steping stones.
What about western politicians?
Don’t think there’s a single larger data set then Taxes going back centuries, your telling me you couldn’t train a machine learning neural net in 30 min to catch every tax avoidance over past 100yr lmao stupid simple solution would solve the problem overnight by simply announcing that your going to do it. Auto track and charge every corrupt politician, corporation and criminal Globally np AI will be leveraged to expose everyone sooner or later, its inevitable. Don’t give them the time to destroy the records.
