After Panama Papers, Paradise Papers, Swiss Leaks and Fincen Files, ARIJ participates again in the largest cross-border journalistic project that reveals the secrets of smuggling money from oil, arms deals and illegal telecommunications companies to safe havens, in banks around the world, and through offshore companies that hide the identities of its owners.
More than 600 journalists and dozens of fact-checkers, lawyers, financial experts, editors, and social media teams, dug through more than 11.9 million leaked documents from law firms in Europe and the US and in famous tax havens like the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and so on.
The documents were obtained by the “International Consortium of Investigative Journalists” (ICIJ) over the past 2 years, and were shared with 150 International and Arab media organizations around the world.
ARIJ’s team, composed of 16 journalists, editors, fact-checkers, lawyers, and social media and digital teams , worked for about a year on the documents to produce 6 investigations (published in Arabic and English) that revealed documented financial irregularities.
