A recent 25-country poll by global market research firm Ipsos found that four in five people surveyed agreed that the Panama Papers “shows that there’s two sets of rules in the world – one for rich people, and one for everybody else.” Respondents overwhelmingly disagreed with the statement that tax avoidance is reasonable, and most said politicians should resign when allegations related to offshore activity revealed in the Panama Papers are proven true.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who heads the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, wrote to ICIJ that his office had “opened a criminal investigation regarding matters to which the Panama Papers are relevant.”
21 jurisdictions covered by the Panama Papers data vary from the rolling hills of Wyoming to the bustling streets of London to tropical getaways like the British Virgin Islands. But all have at least one thing in common: secrecy is the rule.
In most cases, the identity of the individuals behind the companies registered in these jurisdictions remains secret.
