Taxman, the Paradise Papers accuse the VIPs

Here come the Paradise Papers, i.e. the papers collected by a pool of major international newspapers on a gigantic network of offshore operations coordinated by a Bermuda law firm, Appleby.

Two prominent names in the US administration are involved, billionaire Wilbur Ross and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, but also Queen Elizabeth II and U2 leader Bono Vox, as well as multinationals, Russian and Canadian businessmen.

Over 13,4 million confidential documents obtained by the German Suddeutsche Zeitung which shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and its partners including the Guardian, the BBC, the New York Times and Espresso which publishes exclusively for Italy together with Report, the Raitre investigative broadcast.

Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, involved in the new investigation into offshore havens, runs businesses that have ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin's son-in-law. It is specifically a shipping company in which Ross has interests and with which he has made a number of offshore investments, according to the new revelations.
