More than 11.5 million documents leaked from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca cast light on the finances of an array of politicians and public figures and the institutions they use. Several governments launched investigations after the leak of documents from the firm, which specializes in setting up offshore companies. The papers have fueled public anger that the rich and powerful are able to avoid taxes while many people suffer austerity and hardship. The leaks have revealed financial arrangements of prominent figures, including friends of Russian President Vladimir Putin, relatives of the prime ministers of Britain and Pakistan and of China's President Xi Jinping, and the president of Ukraine.
