On October 3rd, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists began publishing leaked documents exposing the hidden assets of some of the world’s richest and most powerful people.  Five years after the Panama Papers revelations, the latest investigation, carried out over two years, represents the biggest ever leak of offshore data, showing the global scale of tax evasion. In total 11.9 million documents were leaked, totalling 2.94 terabytes worth of data.  It has been dubbed the Pandora Papers, evoking Pandora’s Box from Greek mythology, a jar containing the world’s evils.
