13.4 million documents have been published by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and disseminated through the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), exposing the tricks of many public figures to evade taxes from tax havens.

The covers of the international media show personalities such as the Queen of England, the Canadian Prime Minister and officials of the Trump Administration, but among the 1.4 terabytes of information, there are also several Latin American governors and officials.
