A massive trove of private financial records shared with The Washington Post exposes vast reaches of the secretive offshore system used to hide billions of dollars from tax authorities, creditors, criminal investigators and citizens around the world.

The Post and scores of other news organizations collaborated in the effort, conceived and organized by @ICIJorg, to illuminate the workings of this secret world on a scale never before possible. https://t.co/xHOaGlp2yb
The #PandoraPapers is an investigation based on more than 11.9 million documents.

It exposes more than twice as many account holders and twice as many public officials as the Panama Papers did. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m
The files detail the offshore activities of more than 29,000 accounts.

Among them: More than 130 Forbes list billionaires and over 330 public officials around the globe. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m
The #PandoraPapers allow for the most comprehensive accounting to date of a parallel financial universe whose corrosive effects can span generations. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m
The Post is publishing eight articles based on material in the Pandora trove in addition to video and audio pieces.

Stories being published today focus on revelations about King Abdullah II of Jordan and Russian President Vladimir Putin. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m
Records from the Pandora Papers show that a Russian woman acquired luxury property in Monaco through an offshore company after giving birth to a girl during a time when she was reportedly in a secret, years-long relationship with Vladimir Putin. https://t.co/RCUudbY3QC
While billions of dollars in American aid poured into Jordan over the past decade, a secret stream of money was flowing in the opposite direction as the country’s ruler, King Abdullah II, spent millions on extravagant homes in the U.S., documents show. https://t.co/9MUin4fCul
Tens of millions of dollars from outside the U.S. have flowed into trust companies in South Dakota, some of it tied to people and companies accused of human rights abuses and other wrongdoing, the documents show. https://t.co/JQiCJdrd0i
These documents are the first to expose on such a global scale the flows of money, property and other assets that wealthy, powerful people conceal in the offshore system. https://t.co/6t2IgcBCLK
The investigation involved more than 600 journalists in 117 countries and territories, the largest ever organized by @ICIJorg.

Read a letter from Sally Buzbee, executive editor of The Washington Post: https://t.co/pyUcP04aqp
We are contributing to a global package of stories based on the Pandora Papers.

It involves 150 news organizations in 117 countries and territories, including the BBC, the Guardian and was organized by @ICIJorg. https://t.co/FkQnpAgeGP
There are more than 11.9 million documents in the trove, equating to 3.25 terabytes of data.

The Panama Papers stories led to the resignations of the leaders of Iceland and Pakistan. There could be political stakes for some of those named in the Pandora documents.
Stories tomorrow will more closely explore U.S. aspects of this system, including the harm caused by U.S. tax havens and how Americans accused of wrongdoing can escape financial consequences by using offshore entities. https://t.co/7UAMViwS6D
In subsequent days, stories will examine the looting of Asian artifacts, survey the hidden wealth of billionaires who appear in the files, and trace the impact of U.S. sanctions on Russian oligarchs. https://t.co/FkQnpAgeGP

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
