Names of two Pakistanis, Shaukat Aziz and Ayaz Khan Niazi, have so far emerged in the new database of documents, Paradise Papers, released by International Consortium of Journalists Sunday night.
The Paradise Papers reveal data of over 25,000 companies spanning 180 countries, from 1950 to 2016.
Around 381 investigative journalists from 67 countries worked extensively to bring facts about the Paradise Papers before the people. Senior News reporter and ICIJ member Umar Cheema was also part of the team which unearthed the Paradise Papers.
The leak, which includes 13.4 million documents, comprises a major part of documents leaked from company 'Appleby'. The documents were obtained from two companies in Singapore and Bermuda by a German newspaper and shared with the ICIJ.
