Pandora Papers

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) is U.S.-based nonprofit. ICIJ is a unique organization with both a small, resourceful newsroom with its own reporting team, as well as a global network of reporters and media organizations who work together to investigate the most important stories in the world. The ICIJ aims to inspire and cultivate a global community of reporters and readers who believe journalism can bring about positive change.

The Pandora Papers reveal the inner workings of a shadow economy that benefits the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of everyone else. The report includes 11.9 million confidential files and led a team of more than 600 journalists from 150 news outlets that spent two years sifting through them, tracking down hard-to-find sources and digging into court records and other public documents from dozens of countries.
