A massive leak of financial documents was published by several major news organizations on Sunday that allegedly ties world leaders to secret stores of wealth, including King Abdullah of Jordan, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis and associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The politicians and public officials identified in the Pandora Papers had companies in 24 different jurisdictions and include more than 330 politicians and 130 Forbes billionaires, as well as celebrities, fraudsters, drug dealers, royal family members and leaders of religious groups around the world. The dump of more than 11.9 million records, amounting to about 2.94 terabytes of data, came 5 years after the leak known as the "Panama Papers" exposed how money was hidden by the wealthy in ways that law enforcement agencies could not detect.
