(Panama Papers) "The Five Most Important Charts" like Most Pop Tax Havens, Most Freq. used banks

It’s being described as the “biggest leak in history.” Over 11 million confidential documents were released from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which has been described as the world’s fourth-largest provider of offshore services.

The documents were obtained by an anonymous source who contacted German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, which worked with other papers and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists to go through the data. The leak shows how the Panama-based law firm helped its clients launder money and evade tax.

It implicates 12 current or former heads of state and 61 people linked to current or former world leaders, including British prime minister David Cameron’s father, at least eight top Chinese officials, and Bollywood’s most famous stars.

Here are the five most important graphs from the so-called “Panama Papers”:

I always said NO ONE KNOWS how much the powerful elites really have because most of it has never been part of their tax returns.

The editor in chief of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper says more than 1,000 Germans are named in the leaked Panama Papers - and they used all the major German banks. Wolfgang Krach says the banks involved included Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, HypoVereinsbank and Bayerische Landesbank.

The Munich-based paper says it was offered the leaked data from a Panama legal firm more than a year ago through an encrypted channel by an anonymous source.
