The Panama Papers: Breaking the Story of How the Rich and Powerful Hide Their Money - Thryft

Exposing a global elite's secret financial underworld.

If you're at all curious about the shadowy corners of wealth and power, "The Panama Papers" is your guided tour. You'll be riveted by the dogged determination of two journalists unraveling the tangled web that the world's rich and powerful have spun. Not just a string of facts, but a dramatic narrative that feels almost like a spy novel, this book sheds light on the intriguing and often infuriating schemes used to skirt laws and hide fortunes. It's a true story with the grip of fiction.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Late one evening, investigative journalist Bastian Obermayer receives an anonymous message offering him access to secret data. Through encrypted channels, he then receives documents showing a mysterious bank transfer for $500 million in gold. This is just the beginning. Obermayer and fellow Süddeutsche Zeitung journalist Frederik Obermaier find themselves immersed in the secret world where complex networks of shell companies help to hide people who don't want to be found. Faced with the largest data leak in history, they activate an international network of journalists to follow every possible line of enquiry. Operating for over a year in the strictest secrecy, they uncover a global elite living by a different set of rules: prime ministers, dictators, oligarchs, princelings, sports officials, big banks, arms smugglers, mafiosi, diamond miners, art dealers and celebrities. The real-life thriller behind the story of the century, The Panama Papers is an intense, unputdownable account that blows their secret world wide open.
