Episode 1: Remember the Panama Papers
Manage episode 403196054 series 3255583
The Panama Papers was the biggest data leak in history. It exposed the underbelly of the shady world of offshore finance and revealed the extent to which the elite use anonymous companies to move and hide wealth.
In this episode, we explore the story of the data leak, hearing from Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Frederik Obermaier - one of the journalists behind the Panama Papers. We also explain the core issue of ‘beneficial ownership transparency’ and explore how a simple policy change could hold the key to fixing some of the biggest social and economic ills we face in modern society.
