The records, more than 11 million documents in all, come from the internal files of Mossack Fonseca, a Panamanian law firm that specializes in building corporate structures that can be used to conceal assets. Dating from 1977 through 2015, the files include the biggest known cache of inside information on the connections between the international trade in art and offshore secrecy jurisdictions. The records paint a picture of a thinly regulated industry where anonymity is regularly used to shield all kinds of questionable behavior. The data was first leaked to Journalists of the Süddeutsche Zeitung who then passed it on to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, who distributed the data to international journalists from all countries affected. The journalists then worked for a year on the available data until on April 3, 2016 the leak was made public in 78 countries worldwide at the same time. Shortly after Das Erste published PanamaPapers – Im Schattenreich der Offshorefirmen a very comprehensive and informative documentation on the topic.
