<\/p>\n

A huge new leak of financial documents has revealed how the powerful and ultra-wealthy, including the Queen’s private estate, secretly invest vast amounts of cash in offshore tax havens.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump’s commerce secretary is shown to have a stake in a firm dealing with Russians sanctioned by the US.<\/p>\n

The leak, dubbed the\u00a0Paradise Papers, contains 13.4m documents, mostly from one leading firm in offshore finance.<\/p>\n

BBC Panorama is part of nearly 100 media groups investigating the papers.<\/p>\n

As with last year’s Panama Papers leak, the documents were obtained by the German newspaper\u00a0S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung, which called in the\u00a0International Consortium of Investigative Journalists\u00a0(ICIJ) to oversee the investigation. The\u00a0Guardian\u00a0is also among the organisations investigating the documents.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s revelations form only a small part of a week of disclosures that will expose the tax and financial affairs of some of the hundreds of people and companies named in the data, some with strong UK connections.<\/p>\n

Many of the stories focus on how politicians, multinationals, celebrities and high-net-worth individuals use complex structures of trusts, foundations and shell companies to protect their cash from tax officials or hide their dealings behind a veil of secrecy.<\/p>\n
