Pandora Papers expose secret assets of world leaders
A huge leak of financial documents has exposed what is claimed to be the secret assets and dealings of some of the world's richest people.
The collection of nearly 12 million files from 14 global financial services - known as the Pandora Papers - was published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
Among the world leaders which have luxury properties abroad and millions in offshore tax havens are Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan reports from Washington, DC, the US.

People proven to be corrupt in positions of power should be arrested and charged for their crimes. If the US would publicly hold accountable all the powerful and corrupt people in the system then people could start having faith in that system again. Because it would be working as intended. The Wall Street Journal published a piece last week proving 131 federal judges committed crimes by hearing cases for companies in which they owned stock and voting in favor of those companies. The revolution we need is for the system to work as it was intended to and not how it has been corrupted to serve only the powerful.
They deny it and leave the loopholes open for themselves and their friends. Corruption is rife in politics.
Poor are dying while Rich is getting richer and richer by any means.

ThEY ALL IN ON IT.
We have 2 troubling issues here. First is, the fact that there is a such a massive amount of taxation being avoided. The 2nd, is that these same entities are looting "our" tax revenues/assets/capital/governments. The plan is to make us all broke and in debt, so that all ownership of everything is by the top wealthiest ... when we and our governments are all broke and in debt, we have, then, to depend on those with all the wealth for everything from healthcare to infrastructure, and they become the new governing bodies ... we have been "invaded".
