Book Overview

by Frederik Obermaier (Author), Bastian Obermayer (Author)

The thrilling inside story from the journalists who set the investigation into the Panama Papers in motion
From the winners of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting

'A tale of fearless and careful reporting... The most ambitious investigative journalism project of all time.' Financial Times

11.5 million documents sent through encrypted channels. The secret records of 214,000 offshore companies. The largest data leak in history.

In early 2015, an anonymous whistle-blower led investigative journalists Bastian Obermayer and Frederik Obermaier into the shadow economy where the super-rich hide billions of dollars in complex financial networks.

Thus began the ground-breaking investigation that saw an international team of 400 journalists work in secret for a year to uncover cases involving heads of state, politicians, businessmen, big banks, the mafia, diamond miners, art dealers and celebrities. A real-life thriller, The Panama Papers is the gripping account of how the story of the century was exposed to the world.#

'This is an extremely important book - this decade's most important rather than this year's.' Times Literary Supplement
