Podcasts about Paradise Papers

In this look back episode...We have been talking about Epstein and his financial crimes since the podcast first came to fruition. It has been a main theme in our ongoing discussion and today we continue to pull on that thread as we dive deep in our search for some clarity.(Commercial at 9:20)To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/jeffrey-epsteins-offshore-fortune-traced-to-paradise-papers/This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5003294/advertisement

Das Transkript zu Episode 37: Das ist die 37. Ausgabe der Dunkelkammer und sie erscheint aus gegebenem Anlass außertourlich an einem Montag.Außertourlich deshalb, da die heutige Ausgabe Teil einer internationalen Recherche ist. Sie trägt den Titel Narco Files. Und wie der Name vermuten lässt, geht es um die Organisierte Kriminalität, es geht um Drogengeschäfte, es geht um Umweltverbrechen, es geht um Geldwäscherei, es geht um Korruption und einiges mehr.Der Ausgangspunkt ist Kolumbien und von da weg geht es faktisch rund um den Globus.Narco Files. Das ist der Titel eines Projekts, an dem dutzende Journalistinnen und Journalisten aus mehr als 40 Medienhäusern in 23 Ländern monatelang gearbeitet haben.Ich war einer davon, zusammen mit meinem geschätzten Kollegen Stefan Melichar von profil, wir waren quasi Team Österreich.Gleich vorneweg: Die Österreich-Bezüge in den Narco Files sind recht sehr schmal, darum wird es heute auch noch nicht gehen.Mit Stefan Melichar habe ich übrigens in bereits in Episode 2 über eine damalige internationale Recherche zu illegalen Holzgeschäften gesprochen, an der wir beide beteiligt waren.Auch Der Standard berichtet über dieses Projekt, in dem Fall kommt die Beteiligung über die deutsche Plattform Paper Trail Media von Bastian Obermayer und Frederik Obermaier, die mit dem Standard kooperieren.Auch Frederick und Bastian waren bereits meine Gäste und zwar in Ausgabe Nummer elf. Ja, in gewisser Weise haben diese internationalen Projekte auch immer etwas von einem Familienausflug ins Ungewisse, wenngleich wir natürlich alle wissen, was wir aneinander haben. Das Projekt Narco Files ist auch ein guter Anlass, um euch mal eine internationale Recherchekooperation aus der Nähe zu beschreiben.Eines der Feedbacks, das ich regelmäßig erhalte, ist ja, erzähl doch mal, wie so eine länderübergreifende Sache eigentlich abläuft.An sich gibt es zwei Wege, wie so etwas zustande kommt. Auf kleinerer Ebene schließen sich Journalistinnen und Journalisten mehrerer Medien zusammen, um gemeinsam an etwas zu arbeiten. Das kann regional passieren, national oder auch international. Auf einer größeren Ebene läuft es dann über institutionalisierte große Recherchenetzwerke, davon gibt es global einige, mit zweien arbeite ich seit iniger Zeit eng zusammen.Da ist einmal die US-amerikanische Investigativ-Plattform ICIJ, das ist einerseits ein spendenfinanziertes Medienhaus, zugleich aber auch Netzwerk, dem weltweit 290 Mitglieder angehören, in Österreich sind das drei Leute Stefan Melichar, Ulla Kramar-Schmid vom ORF, die jetzt demnächst auch bei mir vorbeischauen wird, und ich selbst. Ein zweites internationales Netzwerk ist das Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, kurz OCCRP, das in Europa und Amerika tätig ist. Auch OCCRP ist eine spendenfinanzierte Non-Profit-Organisation, mit der in der Vergangenheit mehrfach zusammengearbeitet habe, das sind ganz wunderbare Leute dort. Einer der Gründer von OCCRP ist Paul Radu, ein Mann dessen Unerschrockenheit ich aufrichtig bewundere, er ist mir ein großes Vorbild. Die aktuelle Recherche Narco Files ist zugleich auch ein OCCRP-Projekt.Wie man von solchen Projekten erfährt? Nun, es läutet in aller Regel das Telefon, und man wird gefragt, ob man mittun möchte. Und in meinem Geschäft sagt eh nie jemand nein.Es gibt also kleinere und größere Netzwerke, manche entstehen spontan, andere sind institutionalisiert, was sie verbindet ist, dass Leute medienübergreifend gemeinsam an einer Sache arbeiten. Was ist nun die Sache? Auch das ist unterschiedlich. Man kann sich vornehmen, etwas aufzuarbeiten, ohne zunächst besonderes Insiderwissen zu haben. Schon aus öffentlich zugänglichen Datenquellen lassen sich immer wieder herausragende Recherchen machen. Manchmal kommst du aber ohne Insiderwissen, ohne Whistleblower nicht mehr weiter. Und da kommt die zweite Ebene ins Spiel: Das Datenleck.  Ihr erinnert euch möglicherweise an frühere Enthüllungen wiePanama Papers, Paradise Papers, Pandora Papers, FinCen Files Ukio Leaks oder Suisse Secrets. In all diesen Fällen waren Journalisten vertrauliche Datensätze zugespielt worden.   Diese Recherchen gab es also nur, weil es die jeweiligen Datensätze gab, ohne die wäre das gar nicht möglich gewesen. Und das führt mich zu den Narco Files. Auch hier handelt es sich um ein Datenleck, richtigerweise um einen Datenhack. 2022 hatte sich ein Hacker-Kollektiv namens Guacamaya Zugang zu den Email-Postfächern der kolumbianischen Staatsanwaltschaft Fiscalía General de la Nación verschafft.Die Datensätze gingen dann an OCCRP und mehrere lateinamerikanische Medienhäuser darunter die Investigativ-Plattform CLIP. Ja und bei OCCRP setzten sich dann Leute ans Telefon und holten sich Leute rund um den Globus an Bord, um die Datensätze gemeinsam auszuwerten. Da erhält man dann als Projektpartner Zugang zu einem gesicherten Datenraum, wo man die Dokumente einsehen kann. Die Kommunikation zu einem solchen Projekt läuft zum weitaus größten Teil über Chatgruppen, wobei jedes Projekt eine Hauptgruppe und dazu oft mehrere Untergruppen hat.Weil nicht selten mehrere Projekte in mehreren Netzwerken gleichzeitig laufen, kann das schon dazu führen, dass man zwischendurch mal die Übersicht verliert, wer wann wem was wo geschrieben hat.Wie gesagt, mehr als 40 Medienhäuser aus 23 Ländern machen bei den Narco Files mit, wobei die Dunkelkammer der einzige reine Podcast ist, soweit ich das überblickeWas irgendwie auch cool ist. Was sind nun die Narco Files? Es sind mehr als sieben Millionen gehackte Emails der kolumbianischen Staatsanwaltschaft aus den Jahren 2001 bis 2022.Mit den zahlreichen Anhängen ist der Datensatz insgesamt fünf Terabyte groß. Das ist also nicht gerade wenig.Jetzt gibt es natürlich zwei ganz zentrale Fragen, die da auftauchen.Erstens: Ist das Material authentisch, unverfälscht und vollständig?Gerade OCCRP hat für österreichische Verhältnisse ein geradezu unglaubliches Fact cheking-Selbstverständnis. Dort geht nichts raus, dass nicht x-mal umgedreht wurde. Fact checking bei OCCRP bedeutet nicht, die Aussagen von politischen Entscheidungsträgern auf ihren Wahrheitsgehalt hin zu überprüfen. Es bedeutet, dass jede Journalistin und jeder Journalist, der/die auf der Website von OCCRP publiziert, die eigene Geschichte einem Fact check unterziehen muss. Da muss nahezu jeder Bestrich gegenüber dem fact checking department belegt werden. Ich habe diese Erfahrung bereits gemacht. Für Geschichten, die bei profil mal eben so von der Chefredaktion durchgewunken wurden, bin ich mit OCCRP bis zu acht Stunden beim Fact check gesessen. Acht Stunden musste ich belegen, dass das was ich da geschrieben habe, auch den Tatsachen entspricht. Das ist eine unglaubliche gute Schule, die durch im österreichischen Journalismus nur sehr wenige Leute gehen, kann man leider täglich nachlesen. OCCRP hat die kolumbianischen Datensätze intensiv geprüft, wie auch alle anderen Partner, die ja damit gearbeitet haben und darauf aufbauend zum Beispiel Anfragen gestellt haben.Das Material ist also authentisch, es kann allerdings keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit erheben. Vollständig sind solche Datensätze ohnehin nie, was bedeutet schon vollständig bei einer Sammlung von E-Mails.  Zweite Zentrale Frage: Dürfens das denn überhaupt? Ich mein, es sind ja immerhin E-Mails, die einer Behörde geklaut wurden. Darüber haben wir intensiv gesprochen, das passiert eigentlich bei jeder Recherche, die auf einem Leak oder Hack aufbaut, denn am Ende ist es ja einerlei, ob ein Mitarbeiter Daten seines Arbeitgebers leakt, oder ein Hacker von außen darauf zugreift. In beiden Fällen haben die Besitzer der Daten der Weitergabe an Dritte ja nicht zugestimmt.Nun, die alles entscheidende Frage für uns ist: Gibt es ein überwiegendes öffentliches Interesse an diesen Informationen? Ist es also wichtig, dass die Öffentlichkeit von bestimmten Dingen in der Welt rund um sie erfahren?Soweit es jetzt die Narco Files betrifft war die Antwort offensichtlich ja, sonst spräche ich hier nicht.Die ausgewerteten E-Mails zeichnen ein erschütterndes Bild einer Welt, die den Kampf gegen die Drogen offensichtlich verloren hat.Die Organisierte Kriminalität ist nicht nur globalisierter Wirtschaftszweig der unfassbare Gewinne erzielt, in vielen Teilen der Welt sind Drogenbarone zu einflussreichen politischen Kräften aufgestiegen.Die Strafverfolgung? Scheitert oft. Sie kämpft mit mangelnden Ressourcen und Möglichkeiten, sie scheitert an Landesgrenzen.   Wenn ein Verbrechen grenzüberschreitend passiert, ist sind Behörden auf Kooperation angewiesen.Und die läuft mal besser mal schlechter, oft aber nur langsam.Wenn das Verbrechen aber global passiert, dann wird die Verfolgung umso zäher.Und genau das zeigen diese Datensätze: Dass sich nämlich vermeintlich isoliert arbeitende Drogenhandelsgruppierungen zu transkontinentalen Netzwerken zusammengeschlossen haben, manche dieser Gruppierungen sind institutionalisiert, andere entstehen ad hoc aus einem gemeinsamen Interesse heraus und lösen sich anschließend wieder auf. Da tut sich durchaus eine Parallele zur den Arbeit von Journalisten-Netzwerken auf. Mit Namen werden sich die beteiligten Medien im Laufe der Berichterstattung übrigens eher zurückhalten, man will weder laufende Ermittlungen gefährden, noch sich selbst.Wie es bei solchen Projekten üblich ist, wird auch nie alles auf einmal und überall veröffentlicht, das passiert dann immer gestaffelt.Auf der Website von OCCRP und denen der Partnermedien erscheinen zum Start große Stories, die anhand staatsanwaltschaftlicher Akten Veränderungen im Kokain-Geschäft beschreiben.Die traditionellen Coca-Anbaugebiete in Kolumbien, Peru und Bolivien bekommen Konkurrenz aus dem Nordwesten, der Coca-Anbau wandert nach und nach Richtung Guatemala, Mexiko, Belize und Honduras.Diese Staaten galten bisher als Durchgangsländer, jetzt wird dort eben auch angebaut.Ja und soweit es die Herstellung des Endprodukts betrifft, diese Produktionen wandern nach und nach nach Europa. Nach Spanien, nach Belgien oder in die Niederlande. Wobei das Know How hier wiederum aus Südamerika kommt.Allein in den Niederlanden wurden seit 2018 dutzende Koks-Küchen von der Polizei ausgehoben,In den Narco Files ist unter anderem der Fall einer niederländischen Gruppierung dokumentiert, die mit Hilfe kolumbianischer Partner einen Reitstall um mehr als 1,5 Millionen Euro zu einem großen Koks-Labor umbaute.Nach Europa gelangt die Droge mittlerweile oftmals, in dem sie vorgibt, alles Mögliche zu sein. Holzkohle zum Beispiel. Oder eine Imprägnierung auf Textilien. Oder Zement. Oder als Reisekoffer, in dessen Hartschale das Koks eingearbeitet wird.Teils wird auch Kokain auch als Paste verschifft.Am Ende ist ja alles nur Chemie.Die Kokain-Basis wird auf ein unverdächtiges Trägermaterial aufgebracht und am Zielort wird dann extrahiert.Das kann nicht gesund sein, und das ist es übrigens auch nicht.Also zumindest nicht für die, die es herstellen oder die, die es konsumieren.Einer unserer Projektpartner, das spezialisierte spanische Medium Narco Diario konnte mit einem kolumbianischen Kokain-Koch sprechen, der in Spanien ein sechsköpfiges Team leitete. Warum sie das machen? „Es ist das, was wir gut können”, sagt er. Er sei in einer Region in Kolumbien aufgewachsen, in der Kinder die Arbeit mit Koka erlernten, bevor sie schreiben und lesen könnten.Den Job in Spanien und die Einreise als Tourist hatten ihm seine kolumbianischen Auftraggeber verschafft, gearbeitet hat er auf einem Bauernhof irgendwo am Land.Eine Schicht dauerte 15 Tage ohne Kontakt zur Außenwelt.Für die aufwändige und aufgrund der Dämpfe gefährliche Herstellung von einem 1 Kilo Koks-Pulver im Wert von mehr als 100.000 Euro bekam er übrigens 450 Euro.Für die, die Kokain  herstellen und verkaufen lassen, war und ist das a ein sehr sehr einträgliches Geschäft.Und sie haben natürlich Helfer aus der Mitte der Gesellschaft. Rechtsanwälte, Banker, Steuerberater, Logistik-Firmen, Behördenvertreter, ja sogar korrupte Journalisten.Das und noch mehr, wollen die beteiligten Medien in den kommenden Tagen und Wochen ausrollen, ich schau mir kommende Ausgabe unter anderem den wie gesagt schmalen Bezug zu Österreich an.Da geht's um allerdings nicht um Drogen, sondern um eine mittlerweile verblichene kleine österreichische Bank, deren Namen man nun auch in Kolumbien kennt.Mehr dazu in der Dunkelkammer Nummer 38.

Giulio Valesini, Cataldo Ciccolella"La grande inchiesta di Report sugli antibiotici"Introduzione di Sigfrido RanucciChiareletterehttps://chiarelettere.itPerchè non funzionano piùDopo lo scoop sul piano pandemico vecchio di quasi vent'anni e mai aggiornato, che ha segnato tragicamente la risposta italiana al Covid-19, la squadra di Sigfrido Ranucci, grazie al lavoro investigativo dei giornalisti Cataldo Ciccolella e Giulio Valesini, scoperchia un tema gigantesco che rischia di ipotecare il nostro futuro: l'antibiotico-resistenza, ovvero il fatto che i batteri stanno diventando sempre più forti. A causa dei nostri comportamenti, gli antibiotici non funzionano più. “Se perdiamo l'efficacia degli antibiotici, perdiamo buona parte della medicina moderna” mette in guardia nel libro Evelina Tacconelli, fra i massimi esperti in Italia. Ed è esattamente quello che sta succedendo e che questo libro rivela con documenti inediti, testimonianze preziose di esperti italiani e internazionali, ma anche storie dolorose e incredibili di persone comuni, che ci riguardano perché potrebbero essere quelle di ognuno di noi. “Siamo di fronte a una nuova pandemia, colpevolmente trascurata” sottolinea Sigfrido Ranucci nell'introduzione. Nel frattempo le multinazionali farmaceutiche, con azioni di lobbying sempre più invasive, cercano di orientare la nuova legislazione europea sui farmaci. Tutto in nome del profitto. Sta accadendo proprio in questi mesi e nel silenzio generale. Il libro lo racconta portandoci nelle stanze più riservate in cui si prendono le decisioni che interessano noi e il nostro futuro. Un'inchiesta importante, ricca di informazioni e carica di passione, che onora il giornalismo investigativo.Giulio Valesini, classe 1975, romano ma interista, è sposato con Emily e ha due figli, Simone e Ludovica. In Rai dal 2000, dopo una lunga esperienza alla radio è approdato in televisione come inviato di Ballarò, su Rai3, dal 2005 fino al 2014, quando è entrato nella squadra di Report. Grazie alla collaborazione con l'Icij, il consorzio internazionale di giornalisti investigativi, ha realizzato l'inchiesta sui Paradise Papers e, nel 2018, l'indagine “Implant files” sui dispositivi medici.

The IRS has announced that it will be adding over 80K new agents to the roster in the coming years in order to go after people who are evading their taxes. The problem with that is, the very law itself helps these cheats use loopholes to stash their money. Until the loopholes are all closed, it won't matter how many agents are hired, because the ultra wealthy will continue to be able to legally stash their money in a place where it won't be found.Meanwhile, if you have an Etsy store or if you have a side hustle, you better make sure YOUR books are up to date.(commercial at 12:33)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/tax-loophole-lets-the-rich-hide-billions-offshore-report-finds/ar-AA115UUs?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=bfcb0c22d2bf3e6fe5b33cb7ac96d86e

I'm your host, Susan Divers, Director of Thought Leadership and Best Practices at LRN. Today, I'm continuing my conversation from episode 11 with Tom Fox on the changing geopolitical landscape and its impact on ethics and compliance. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, we highly encourage you to do so. Tom is the founder of the Compliance Podcast Network and the author of the award-Winning FCPA Compliance and Ethics Blog, as well as the Complete Compliance Handbook, which is in its third edition. Tom, welcome back to Principled Podcast. Tom Fox: Thank you, Susan. Susan Divers: Tom, in our last episode, we talked about the impact of the war in the Ukraine on compliance and ethics. And specifically on the challenges that's imposed or brought to the fore for companies and specifically for their compliance teams who hopefully have a real seat at the table in terms of dealing with those challenges and mitigating those risks. But one of the topics that underlies what we were talking about is that of conducting your business in a fair, transparent, and sustainable manner. And I'm really struck by some of the things you were saying about the need to be transparent and the need to walk the walk and talk the talk. Because if you fail to do so, we live in an age of radical transparency and easy access to social media, and moreover, it's the right thing to do. So with that as the background, anti-corruption has long been a focus for regulators. I mean, it's probably defined yours and my careers in a lot of regards. But only recently have some people started talking about it, and you're one and I'm one, as a major component of ESG. Could you explain for our listeners how that works and the role of anti-corruption in ESG? Tom Fox: Sure. So ESG, in my mind, Susan, the power of ESG is that it has brought together disparate strands that have existed in every corporation for some lengthy period of time. But brought them together in a way that someone is looking at them holistically. So, I'll pick on E because that perhaps is the easiest. As a compliance officer, I never looked at environmental issues in our company. That was somebody else's responsibility. Susan Divers: Me either. Right. Tom Fox: Didn't mean there wasn't environmental compliance, but it meant that I wasn't looking at that from the compliance perspective. Now, whether it's the Chief Sustainability Officer, whether it's the Board of Directors, whether there's a Board ESG Committee, somebody's connecting compliance to environmental. And so that in and of itself is, to me, the most powerful reason to have a robust ESG program. But anti-corruption in ESG, in my opinion, Susan, I've always seen it directly in the G. Susan Divers: Me too. Tom Fox: Number one, it's a good governance issue. Number two, it is a Board of Director's issue. Number three, it's illegal and regulatory issue. But now Susan, I'm beginning to see it and have tried to articulate, that I see it in the S component as well as sustainability. Part of it is around one of the topics we touched on our last podcast of radical transparency, that if you do business ethically and in compliance, and if there's a question raised about a supplier, a customer, a distributor, a someone you've done business with in today's era of modern social media, that you can respond to that in a way that won't hurt your business from the public perception perspective. Leaving completely aside the regulatory perspective. So, I see ABC or anti-corruption compliance now, Susan, as directly within the S of ESG as well. And I also see it in the E. So to me, it sort of bleeds across all aspects of ESG and is a key component of a best practices ESG program. Susan Divers: Yeah, and I'm glad you articulated it so clearly for people, because I think there's a tendency perhaps, to silo ethics and compliance and sustainability. And they really are part and parcel of the same thing. And I'm going to quote from your recent white paper in support of that. "As a fundamental threat to the rule of law, corruption hollows out institutions, corrodes public trust, and fuels popular cynicism towards effective accountable governance." And that's, I think, a quote from the U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption. Can you talk for us and link together how anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and sanctions all are part and parcel of the same thing and relate to ESG? I think that'd be helpful for our listeners? Tom Fox: So Susan, the statement you read interests me for a couple of reasons. That came out of the U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption, and it was aimed at national governments, so national governance. And I think it's absolutely correct that corruption, money laundering, all fuel cynicisms towards effective, accountable national governance. But Susan, as you were reading that, it struck me, that is equally true about corporate governance, or the G in ESG. Because violations of the rule of law, corruption, money laundering, they all corroded trust in our corporations, and indeed fuel cynicism towards effective accountable corporate governance. The United Nations estimates that $3 trillion is lost to the global economy annually because of bribery and corruption. The United States Department of Treasury estimates that $2 trillion is lost annually because of money laundry. That's $5 trillion taken out of the global economy that could be used for a wide variety of other ways, reasons to help countries and people that's not available to them. So having an effective anti-corruption and anti-money laundering strategy as well as trade sanctions, I think, are directly a part of ESG. They're certainly all in the G. We've talked about how they relate to sustainability. But money laundering and trade sanctions are as invidious, in my mind, as corruption is. After 9/11, we saw a spike in the first real spike in FCPA cases starting sort of circa '04. And it was said that corruption led to crime, which led to terrorism. And there was really a belief that corruption had a direct line to the terrorism that impacted the United States directly on 9/11. And now we see how corruption leads to erosion of trust in governance. But governance is not just corporate governance, it's democratic governance and democratic institutions. And certainly the Russian invasion of Ukraine put another exclamation mark on that. Whatever Russia is, it's not a democracy. And it is, if you want to see evidence of the invidiousness of corruption, you only need to look at a Russian army, their failures in Ukraine, how they've treated the people of Ukraine all wrapped up in an anti-democratic form. And that all speaks to the G. And when you read that line or that quote from my white paper, it struck me, that really works on multiple levels of governance. Susan Divers: Well, and you raise a good point too, that it's in the corporate governance area because if you... I've said this so many times, but it's worth repeating. If you have a code of conduct and you have training and you have policies, and you have an E&C team, that doesn't mean you have an ethical company, particularly if your leadership is engaging in sexual harassment or they're dealing with people who are banned because they're under sanction or they're violating anti-money laundering controls because it's a big account and they want the commission. That just means that your program is basically window dressing. So for corporations and for E&C professionals, it seems to me that making sure that you're doing business in an ethical, compliant way is part of and parcel of being sustainable. And part of demonstrating that trust that is essential, if you're going to do business effectively, as we've talked about. We talked last time a little bit about how the Biden administration has basically shifted the view of anti-corruption enforcement. And I think that bears reemphasizing, 'cause I thought that was such an interesting point that you raised about that in the last podcast. Do you mind repeating that? Tom Fox: Sure. So in December, 2021, the Biden administration release our U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption. Once again, this did not come about because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it occurred during the run up to it. And it's one of the things that I think the Russian invasion have put an exclamation point on as to why business will never be the same in certain areas. You and I have been in the anti-corruption field for a long time. As of December, 2021, our fight is now a national security fight. And they elevated anti-corruption and the fight against corruption to a national security issue. When something becomes a national security issue of the United States, that means resources are made available for that fight. The strategy released by the Biden administration was the internal U.S. Government Strategy. It didn't impact our former employers or us today directly. But what it did was say, "The U.S. is going to enhance the global fight against corruption. They're going to work with foreign partners, foreign prosecutors, foreign departments of justice or ministries of justice to bring to justice people who engage in bribery and corruption, people engage in money laundering in a way they haven't done before." Interestingly, there was a section on journalists and the fourth state and a specific acknowledgement that exposes, business exposes by journalists all the way from blood money of the story of Theranos to the Paradise Papers, to the Panama Papers, to the Paradise Papers, all exposed bribery and corruption, all exposed money laundering, all exposed sham corporations, all exposed fraud. And for the first time, we have the U.S. Government saying, "We're going to work to try to encourage good journalism to help expose these, because we can't do all of this on our own." And newspapers have a vital role to play, and reporters have a vital role to play. So, we have the fourth estate now being openly discussed by the United States. We have government agencies that had never concerned themselves with anti-corruption, now being tasked with anti corruption. And I would point you to NATO. NATO's been around most of our lives. No, well, I guess all of our lives. Susan Divers: Yeah. Tom Fox: It's a key component of what I see as U.S. Security interests. But I've never heard NATO and anti-corruption in the same breath before. Well, now NATO is charged with enforcing anti-corruption statutes for its suppliers. It's suppliers are not all U.S. companies. NATO's a 23 member, I think, organization. So any country can have suppliers to NATO. Well, now they have to comply with U.S. anti-corruption laws probably in the form of the FCPA. So, we have a greater scope, a greater reach, we have greater resources in the form of prosecutors or investigators. But the U.S. is acknowledging and saying, "This is part of our overall fight." And in part one of our episodes, Susan and I talked about the Department of Treasury saying that U.S. corporations are a part of the fight against money laundering. Well, I think the Department of Justice has come pretty close to saying that U.S. corporations are a part of the fight against bribery and corruption. And because it's a national security issue, we want you to come to us. We will incentivize you to come in and self-disclose, once again, even if it's within your organization. I think that this means more funds, a wider remit for government agencies that have not had this remit before. And when you start talking about the press as a key part or a key whistleblower within the context of overall whistle blowing programs, I think that's an acknowledgement that is long overdue. Susan Divers: I totally agree with you. And I think it also sort of ups the ante, because when you couple that with DOJ's recent re-emphasis and added emphasis on personal responsibility and liability for misconduct, it's in a sense saying, "If you go out and you bribe or you violate anti-money laundering or you do business with people on the sanctioned list, or you help oligarchs move their yachts, you're not just committing an economic crime. You're doing something that violates the U.S. National Security interests." And I think that's something for boards and executives to really think about, especially in light of the recent absolutely horrible Lafarge cement case where they were bribing ISIS in order to keep their Syrian cement factory open. It's an interesting dynamic. Let's leave that and let's talk about cybersecurity, because that's another major risk area for companies. And it directly plays into the area of sanctions in AML as well as others. What are you seeing in that space as a result of the war in the Ukraine and the risks that's created? Tom Fox: So once again, Susan, cybersecurity, cyber attacks, cyber hacks have been with us for some period of time. I think Target was probably the first one that got the attention of most of us in the compliance community. But certainly within the cyber community, this was well known. But what the Russian invasion of Ukraine has done is, here I have to cite to Brandon Daniels, CEO of Exiger who said, "We are now under permanent non-kinetic warfare.", meaning we are permanently under attack by our enemies in the cyberspace. Every company is subject to attack. It can be a state actor or it could be rogue groups. It could be criminal groups. So, that's sort of point one. We are all under attack now and we have to harden our defenses. But point number two is that what you sort of raise at the end, Susan, you're attacked, you're hacked. You want to get the key so you can unlock your documents. You make a payment. Who are you making that payment to? They're probably not going to say, "My name is Thomas Robert Fox. My bank account at Chase is..." They're going to give you a false name and some sort of drop account that you don't know, or you may not know who the end user is. Well, in 18 months or 24 months, when you get a little knock at the door from the Department of Treasury, which says, "You've just paid ISIS." Or, "You've just paid Russia. We'd like to ask you some questions under oath." The point being that if you don't know who you're paying, you may be paying someone who's on the sanctions list. You may be paying rogue agents or agents rather from Cuba, from North Korea. You may be paying agents from China. And so, cybersecurity is tied to money laundering and trade sanctions because of the potential payments. As a business, you're in an extraordinarily difficult position because you may have not had hardened defenses. And you may be at risk for losing your data or having it put out on the dark web. And that's not going to be an easy choice. But if you make a payment and it's to someone on the sanction list, the U.S. government has made clear, you will be punished for violations of those U.S. laws. And this fall, it's not effective yet, effective March, 2023, Lloyd's of London has announced that they will not honor cyber insurance obligations where the attack was made by a state actor. And typically what companies will do after they're hacked and they have to announce publicly is, they will say, "Well, we were a hacked by the Russian government and there's nothing we can do for it because it was a top military hacking unit in Russia. And whatever defenses we had in place, we couldn't defend us." Well, if you say that trying to cover your backside, you've just lost your insurance coverage. And if you make payments, you're not going to be able to get indemnity and that money back. So, you have to be very careful about what you publicly say now, if you want to have full cyber insurance. It's, here I'm less certain about the answer, Susan. I just know that the questions have become much more important, much more difficult. But you've got to have these conversations in your corporation. You've got to practice hack drill. It's like you and I did fire drills or bomb drills in elementary school. You've got to have a drill, you've got to have a plan in place. You've got to be ready, if you're hacked. You've got to have experts who you can call, trusted advisors, whether they be legal, whether it be technical, whether they be compliance, whether they be cyber, to come in and help you get through such an attack. But we're under... make no illusions that this Russian invasion has unleashed corporate attacks in a way we have never seen before. It's here to stay. And you as a U.S. corporation and U.S. compliance practitioner are going to have to deal with it. Susan Divers: Well, and what you're saying too is a perfect illustration of the interconnectedness, which I don't think we thought in those terms too much in the past. We had FCPA compliance and we had sanctions compliance and trade compliance and AML. We didn't really, at least, I didn't, to confess, sort of think about it as all connected. But if you're basically being held to ransom and it's a Russian or an ISIS hacker, then not only could you violate the sanctions laws, but you could violate anti-bribery laws too, inadvertently. To use a great expression, it's sort of a dog's breakfast in some ways, what compliance officers are faced with. So, what's your advice, because it's a new risk environment and the risks are really big? They're national security risks, they're not just good governance and good business risks. What should compliance officers do? Let's end on a practical note of, how do you actually deal with the situation going forward? Tom Fox: No, I wonder if I should open my door, bring my three dogs back in, and say, "Hey guys, what do you do when I put a dog's breakfast down in front of you?" And they look up at me and say, "Well, we eat it, Tom." It's here to stay. And that means you have to deal with it. It all goes back to risk. What are your risks? Assess your risks. Yes, I understand you have a robust cyber defense protocol. You have a program, you have tested that program, you've run drills on that program. Now, have you done that same with your prime supplier? Have you done that with your Tom Fox vendor who has access to the vendor invoice system so that I can input my invoice into your system for work I do? Have you checked down to that level to make sure that my defenses are hardened, someone using my system can't get in? You have to go through the same exercise you do from a corruption compliance, any money laundering compliance, trade control, and trade sanction compliance. Assess your risk. How do you assess your risk? Where are you doing business? Who are you doing business with? How are you doing business? In all of those manners, are there any gaps in your defenses in those three areas? If you assess those risks and then if you find gaps, weaknesses, material deficiencies, whatever you choose to call them, remediate those. It is a process you have to go through. You can't do it... I'm going to look at our cyber defenses in our third party supply chain this afternoon. You can't do that. It is a process and you're going to have to put work into it. But that's where you get the real results. Because once again, as we found, I think in the supply chain discussion we had, Susan, once you look at those sub-suppliers, who you're doing business with, where they're doing business, and how you're doing business, you may find inefficiencies from the business operations perspective. And you can correct or improve those business efficiencies and make your company more efficient, and hopefully at the end of the day, more profitable, when you began as a program to assess risk based upon a DOJ pronouncement or a DOT pronouncement. But it all starts with recognizing what your risks are. And only you can assess your risks. Susan Divers: And I like too, the way you've mapped it out, because it really, again, comes full circle back to sustainability, that the way you do business is just as important as what business you do. And if you truly keep on top of your risks and really reinvigorate the risk function, that should be, as you've pointed out, a dialogue with the board and with the top management. It shouldn't be a dialogue that compliance and audit and legal are having because it involves the strategic direction of the company. And it also involves the way the company is governed. So with that takeaway, I think this is a conversation we could be having for at least another hour, if not more. But we're out of time. And so Tom, thank you so much for joining us. And your thoughts are so valuable, because I think it's easy in the ethics and compliance field to get fixated on, "How am my rolling out the training? What's my curriculum, how many hotline calls have I gotten?" And it's much more about, how do we actually live in this world? And how do we in fact, conduct business in a way that's ethical, compliant, and sustainable? So you've really taken us to that perspective. And I'm very grateful to you for doing that. Tom Fox: Susan, thank you, and I look forward to continuing this conversation. Susan Divers: Thank you, Tom.

Panama Papers, Pandora Papers, Paradise Papers, Uber Files… les révélations fondées sur des fuites massives de documents liés au business florissant des paradis fiscaux se suivent et se ressemblent. A chaque fois, on en parle quelques jours et puis on passe à autre chose. Et d'une certaine manière, avec le temps, on s'habitue, on se désensibilise, on se dit “business as usual”. Dans un registre pas tout à fait similaire mais comparable, les scandales politiques ayant une forte odeur de paradis fiscaux se suivent et se ressemblent. Affaire Cahuzac sous Hollande, affaire Pannier-Runacher sous Macron, etc. Faut-il l'accepter ? Non, nous dit Renaud Van Ruymbeke, ancien magistrat du pôle financier du tribunal de Paris, célèbre pour avoir suivi des grosses enquêtes politico-judiciaires comme l'affaire Urba, l'affaire des frégates de Taïwan et le dossier Clearstream. Parce que les paradis fiscaux sont plus que des outils de confort pour des hommes d'affaires véreux ou des hommes politiques voraces. Ils sont au coeur des grands transferts de richesse qui affaiblissent les systèmes sociaux européens et plongent dans la mesure des pays du Sud. Sans eux, les circuits du grand banditisme, du crime organisé seraient peut-être moins protégés. Interviewé par Théophile Kouamouo, Renaud Van Ruymbeke revient avec ce livre, à la fois très pédagogique et foncièrement engagé : “Offshore, dans les coulisses édifiantes des paradis fiscaux”, paru aux éditions Les Liens qui Libèrent. ▶ Soutenez Le Média :

Nous sommes le 5 novembre et comme chaque samedi, c'est l'heure de notre rétrospective. Aujourd'hui nous allons revenir en 2017, il y a 5 ans, étaient publiés les Paradise Papers.

CHARLES III : UN ROI SOUS HAUTE SURVEILLANCE - 17/09/22 Invités : ANTHONY BELLANGER Éditorialiste, spécialiste des questions internationales – « France Inter » MARIE-CÉLINE DANIEL Maîtresse de conférences en civilisation britannique – Sorbonne Université CLÉMENCE FOURTON Maîtresse de conférences en études anglophones – Science Po Lille VINCENT MEYLAN Rédacteur en chef – « Point de vue » ÉRIC ALBERT – En direct de Londres Journaliste correspondant à Londres – « Le Monde » 7 kilomètres de queue et une nuit blanche. C'est l'épreuve à endurer pour les visiteurs voulant se recueillir devant le cercueil de la reine Elizabeth II au Parlement de Westminster, à Londres. Depuis mercredi, chacun se voit donner un bracelet électronique indiquant sa position, facilitant ainsi les allées et venues vers les toilettes et ravitaillements de nourriture. Ils devraient être ainsi près d'un million à passer ainsi quelques secondes devant la dépouille de la reine. Un engouement à peine croyable, qui souligne la grande émotion outre-manche depuis le décès de celle qui régna 70 ans. Le recueillement durera jusqu'à lundi matin, jour des funérailles à l'abbaye de Westminster. Près de 2.000 personnes ont été conviées par la famille royale, dont quelque cinq cents chefs d'État et monarques du monde entier. Seront ainsi réunis Emmanuel Macron, Joe Biden, Jair Bolsonaro et Recep Tayyip Erdogan, parmi tant d'autres. Alors que Vladimir Poutine, persona non grata, sera absent. La foule aussi devrait être conséquente ce jour-là, l'organisation de ces funérailles est donc un immense défi en matière de sécurité. Si Elizabeth II jouissait d'une grande popularité, son successeur, Charles III risque cependant de crisper le peuple britannique. Ses énervements récents, filmés et longuement commentés dans les médias, montre un homme nerveux qui ne contrôle pas son image, bien loin de la sérénité apparente de sa mère. Pendant ce temps, à Belfast en Irlande du Nord, le décès de la monarque plonge les unionistes dans l'incertitude. Car l'Irlande du Nord ne connaît la paix que depuis 1998, et celle-ci reste fragile. Profondément dévoués à la reine Elizabeth II, les unionistes craignent ainsi que leur cause, l'appartenance au Royaume-Uni, soit plus menacée que jamais, dans un contexte politique bouleversé par le Brexit et la progression historique des nationalistes républicains, partisans d'une réunification avec la République d'Irlande voisine. Enfin, la répartition du colossal héritage de la reine pose question. Elizabeth II laisse derrière elle le patrimoine de la famille Windsor, la plus riche du Royaume-Uni. Elle disposait aussi d'une fortune personnelle de 425 millions d'euros, de biens immobiliers, d'une collection de timbres ou encore de chevaux. Le nouveau roi Charles III devrait empocher la plus grosse part, sans droits de succession. Une abondance qui donne du grain à moudre aux partisans de l'abolition de la monarchie. Celle-ci ayant de surcroît été mentionnée en 2017 dans le scandale des Paradise Papers qui pointait les placements de la reine dans des paradis fiscaux. Alors, comment analyser la ferveur populaire autour de la dépouille d'Elizabeth II ? Charles III peut-elle fâcher les Britanniques avec la monarchie ? Quelles seront les conséquences du décès de la reine en Irlande du Nord ? Quel sera l'héritage de chacun des membres de la famille royale ?

Leaks gibt es gefühlt immer häufiger. Ständig werden in Unternehmen geheime Informationen an die Öffentlichkeit durchgestochen. Jüngstes Beispiel: Ende Juli wurde bei TikTok ein Dokument geleakt, in dem beschrieben wird, wie die PR-Abteilung Informationen kleinreden und zurückhalten soll. Zu Beginn des Jahres gab es außerdem noch zwei prominente Leaks bei Facebook und Uber, die die Titelseiten der Zeitungen füllten. Ganz zu schweigen von den Panama Papers, den Paradise Papers oder dem NSA-Leak rund um Edward Snowden. Welche Bedeutung haben Leaks heute eigentlich für die Kommunikationsbranche? Gibt es eine Leak-Inflation? Und wie geht man als Kommunikator:in mit Leaks um, wenn sie das Licht der Öffentlichkeit erblickt haben?

Investigative journalism has been key to discovering illicit financial flows, tax heavens and the challenges of reforming the international financial infrastructure. Every investigation and every leak brings progress in the search for transparency, it raises the bar for financial institutions, and the pressure against financial crime actors. In today's episode we are joined by Will Fitzgibbon, a senior reporter with the  International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Will has reported on ICIJ projects, including West Africa Leaks, Paradise Papers and Panama Papers and he also coordinates ICIJ's partnerships with journalists in Africa and the Middle East. Topics discussed in this episode: What drew Will to the world of investigative journalism. Views on the current Russia-Ukraine conflict. Why stopping and reforming the international financial infrastructure has been a challenge. How Will sees the role of investigative journalism in the context of financial crime. Top discoveries from the Pandora Papers. What has changed for better and for worse since the Pandora Papers. How financial crime control fines should broaden up to include other actors beyond financial institutions. What attributes financial criminals look for when they choose jurisdictions. Why there will always be loopholes in the financial sector that bad actors can exploit. 3 Pieces of advice for industry professionals.

"Desde 2015 CIPER ha participado en investigaciones colaborativas internacionales similares a Pandora Papers que han analizado millones de documentos filtrados sobre sociedades en paraísos fiscales. Los datos revelados por Panama Papers (2016) y Paradise Papers (2017) fueron revisados por el Servicio de Impuestos Internos, que realizó auditorías y recuperó millonarios montos que habían dejado de pagarse gracias al secretismo que ofrecen las sociedades offshore. Pero no solo eso, también identificó tres nuevos esquemas para evitar el pago de impuestos, los que se agregaron al catálogo de advertencia a los contribuyentes." "Una gran filtración de documentos vista por la BBC muestra cómo algunos países están tratando de cambiar un informe científico fundamental sobre cómo abordar el cambio climático. La filtración revela que Arabia Saudita, Japón, Australia, Argentina y Brasil se encuentran entre los países que piden a la ONU que minimice la necesidad de dejar de usar rápidamente de los combustibles fósiles."

"The war for our minds (con'd)." The colonization of independent media.    Patrick Lawrence THE SCRUM  Oct 21       21 OCTOBER—Watch and listen, O you with open eyes and ears. The national security state's long, very long campaign to control our press and broadcasters has taken a new turn of late. If independent media are what keep alive hope for a vigorous, authentic Fourth Estate, as argued severally in this space, independent media are now subject to an insidious, profoundly anti-democratic effort to undermine them. The Independent Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Frances Haugen, Maria Ressa: Let us consider this institution and these people. They are all frauds, if by fraudulent we mean they are not what and who they tell us they are and their claim to independence from power is bogus. The Deep State—and at this point it is mere pretense to object to this term—long ago made it a priority to turn the mainstream press and broadcasters to its purposes—to make a free press unfree. This has gone on since the earliest Cold War decades and is well and responsibly documented. (Alas, if more Americans read the many excellent books and exposés on this topic, assertions such as the one just made would not arrive as in the slightest outré.)    But several new realities are now very evident. Chief among them, the Deep State's colonization of corporate media is now more or less complete. CNN, filling its airtime with spooks, generals, and a variety of official and formerly official liars, can be counted a total takeover. The New York Times is prima facie government-supervised, as it confesses in its pages from time to time. The Washington Post, owned by a man with multimillion-dollar CIA contracts, has turned itself into a comic book. For reasons I will never entirely fathom, corporate media have not merely surrendered their legitimacy, such as it may have been: They have actively, enthusiastically abandoned what frayed claim they may have had to credibility. The national-security state incorporates mainstream media into its apparatus, and then people stop believing mainstream media: The thrill is gone, let's say.  In consequence of these two factors, independent media have begun to rise as … independent media. They accumulate audiences. A little at a time, they acquire the very habits of professionalism the mainstream press and broadcasters have let decay. Gradually, they assume the credibility the mainstream has lost. The media ecosystem—horrible phrase but there it is—begins to take on a new shape.  Certain phenomena engendered by independent media prove popular. There are whistleblowers. People inside Deep State institutions start to leak, and they turn to independent media, most famously WikiLeaks, to get information out. While the Deep State's clerks in mainstream media keep their heads down and their mouths shut as they cash their checks, independent media take principled stands in favor of free expression, and people admire these stands. They are, after all admirable. Those populating the national-security state's sprawling apparatus are not stupid. They can figure out the logical response to these developments as well as anyone else. The new imperative is now before us: It is to colonize independent media just as they had the mainstream in previous decades. There are some hopelessly clumsy cases. I urge all colleagues to stop bothering with The Young Turks in any capacity. Those running it, creatures of those who generously fund it, are simply infra-dig. As Matt Taibbi pointed out over the weekend in a piece wonderfully headed, “Yes, Virginia, There Is a Deep State,” they've now got some clod named Ben Carollo proclaiming the CIA as an accountable force for good, savior of democracy—this in a video appearing under the rubric “Rebel HQ.” As an East European émigré friend used to say, “Gimme break.” Democracy Now! is a subtler instance of colonization. The once-admirable Amy Goodman drank the Russiagate Kool-Aid, which I counted the first indication of covert intervention of one or another kind. Then she caved to the orthodoxy on the chemical-weapons scam during the Syrian crisis, and lately—you have to watch to believe—Goodman has begun broadcasting CNN “investigative” reports with unalloyed approval. The debate in this household is whether Ms. Goodman had a long lunch in Langley or her donors started threatening to delay their checks. I have no evidence of either but tend to the latter explanation. The three recent phenomena suggested at the top of this piece are indications of the Deep State's latest tactics in its assault on independent media and the culture that arises among them. It behooves us to understand this.  Two weeks ago, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists published “The Pandora Papers,” a “leak” of 12 million electronic documents revealing the tax-fiddling, money-hiding doings of 300–odd political figures around the world. “The Pandora Papers” followed publication of “The Panama Papers” in 2016 and “The Paradise Papers” a year later. There are many useful revelations in these various releases, but we ought not be fooled as to the nature of the project. Where did the ICIJ get the documents in “The Pandora Papers,” and how?  Are they complete? Were names redacted out? They have been verified? Explaining provenance, authenticity, and so forth is essential to any investigative undertaking, but ICIJ has nothing to say on this point. Why, of all the people “The Pandora Papers” exposes, is there not one American on its list? As Moon of Alabama notes in an analysis of this release, it amounts to a list of “people the U.S. doesn't like.” The ICIJ vigorously insists on its independence. But on close inspection this turns out not to be so by any serious understanding of the term. Among its donors are the Ford Foundation, whose longtime ties to the CIA are well-documented, and the Open Societies Foundation, the (in)famous George Soros operation dedicated to cultivating coups in nations that fall outside the fence posts of neoliberalism.  The group was founded in 1997 as a project of the Center for Public Integrity, another institution dedicated to “inspiring change using investigative reporting,” as the center describes itself. Among its sponsors are Ford, once again, and the Democracy Fund, which was founded by Pierre Omidyar, bankroller of The Intercept (another compromised “independent” medium). Omidyar is, like Soros, a sponsor of subversion ops in other countries masquerading as “civil society” projects. ICIJ's other sponsors (and for that matter the Democracy Fund's) are comprised of the sorts of foundations that support NPR, PBS, and other such media. Let us be crystal clear on this point. Anyone who assumes media institutions taking money from such sponsors are authentically independent does not understand philanthropy as a well-established, highly effective conduit through which orthodoxies are enforced and public discourse circumscribed.  What are we looking at here? Not what we are supposed to think we are looking at, certainly. I will return to this question. There is the case of Maria Ressa, which I considered briefly in a previous commentary. Ressa is the supposedly courageous, speak-truth-to-power co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize this year, a Filipina journalist who co-founded The Rappler, a web publication in Manila. The Nobel committee cited Ressa for her “fight for freedom of expression.” Who is Maria Ressa, then, and what is The Rappler? I grow weary of writing this sentence: She and her publication are not what we are supposed to think they are. Ressa and The Rappler, each insisting on independence just as the ICIJ does, are straight-out lying on this point. The Rappler recently received a grant of $180,000 from the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA front—this according to an NED financial report issued earlier this year. None other than Pierre Omidyar and a group called North Base Media own nonvoting shares in the publication. Among North Base's partners is the Media Development Investment Fund, which was founded by George Soros to do what George Soros likes to do in other countries. Does a picture begin to emerge? Read the names together and one will. You have to figure they all party together. Nobel in hand, Maria Ressa has already declared that Julian Assange is not a journalist and that independent media need new regulations, as in censorship. Henry Kissinger got a Nobel as a peacemaker: Ressa gets one as a defender of free expression. It's a fit. This brings us to the case of Frances Haugen, the former Facebook exec who recently appeared before Congress waving lots of documents she seems to have secreted (supposedly) out of Facebook's offices to argue for—what else at this point?—increased government regulation of social media, as in censorship. Frances Haugen, you see, is a courageous, speak-truth-to-power whistleblower. Never mind that her appearance on Capitol Hill was carefully choreographed by Democratic Party operatives whose party simply cannot wait to censor our First Amendment rights out of existence.  It is hard to say who is more courageous, I find—the ICIJ, Maria Ressa, or Frances Haugen. Where would we be without them? The culture of independent media as it has germinated and developed over the past decade or so gave us WikiLeaks, and its effectiveness cannot be overstated. It gave us all manner of gutsy journalists standing for the principles of a genuinely free press, and people listened. It gave us whistleblowers who are admired even as the Deep State condemns them.     And now the national-security state gives us none other than a secret-disclosing crew of mainstream hacks, a faux-independent journalist elevated to the highest honors, and a whistleblower who was handed her whistle and taught how to toot it—three crowd-pleasers, three simulacra. These are three frauds. They are to independent journalism what McDonald's is to food.  There is only one defense against this assault on truth and integrity, but it is a very good one. It is awareness. CNN, Democracy Now!, the ICIJ, Maria Ressa, Frances Haugen—none of these and many other media and people are properly labeled. But the labels can be written with modest efforts. Awareness and scrutiny, watching and listening, will prove enough.

First the Panama Papers in 2016, then the Paradise Papers in 2017, and now the Pandora Papers. The massive leaks expose financial maneuverings and corruption at the world's highest levels. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists worked with more than 140 media organizations on its biggest-ever global investigation. Data reveals hidden wealth, tax avoidance, and money laundering by the world's most rich and powerful. But not all of these practices are illegal. What constitutes the legality and ethics behind these hidden financial activities?  The Pandora Papers highlight the blurred lines between legal and illegal financial practices. Clearly, those most empowered to end financial “grey areas” are also those most heavily invested in prolonging secret accounts for their own benefit. The dozens of politicians exposed are already experiencing political pain from voters, giving way to more populist extremes. What does that mean for democracy itself? Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Mark Pieth, founding president of the Basel Institute on Governance and a leading voice on anti-corruption practices. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic discusses technological advances to protect whistleblowers who expose these shady practices.

What are the Pandora Papers? Thanks for asking!On October 3rd, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists began publishing leaked documents exposing the hidden assets of some of the world's richest and most powerful people. Five years after the Panama Papers revelations, the latest investigation, carried out over two years, represents the biggest ever leak of offshore data, showing the global scale of tax evasion. In total 11.9 million documents were leaked, totalling 2.94 terabytes worth of data. It has been dubbed the Pandora Papers, evoking Pandora's Box from Greek mythology, a jar containing the world's evils.So who is implicated in the Pandora Papers leak? Did they actually do anything illegal? What's different this time compared to previous leaks like the Paradise Papers and Panama Papers?

There's been a lot of news this week—so much news, in fact, that one of the biggest global stories in recent memory has seemingly gotten buried under the deluge of headlines. Just days ago, as Brett Wilkins writes, “what's being called the ‘biggest-ever leak of offshore data'” involved the publication of “a cache of nearly 12 million documents” exposing “the hidden wealth, secret dealings, and corruption of hundreds of world leaders, billionaires, public officials, celebrities, and others.” Like the Panama Papers (2016) and the Paradise Papers (2017), the Pandora Papers leak provides definitive evidence that the super-rich are ripping all of us off, siphoning inordinate amounts of wealth away from our societies, stashing it for themselves, and using their power and influence to rig political and economic systems in their favor.In the second segment of this week's Marc Steiner Show, Marc and Chuck Collins from the Institute for Policy Studies walk listeners through the importance of the Pandora Papers leak, what the documents reveal, and what we can do to stop the pillaging of our societies by the super-rich. Chuck Collins is the director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he co-edits the IPS website Inequality.org. He is also the author of Born on Third Base: A One Percenter Makes the Case for Tackling Inequality, Bringing Wealth Home, and Committing to the Common Good.

Tal como pasó en casos similares, como los Panamá Papers o los Paradise Papers, una nueva colaboración en red del Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas de Investigación sacudió al mundo el pasado fin de semana. Esta vez, con un capítulo chileno de alta importancia política, relacionado con el patrimonio del presidente Sebastián Piñera y uno de los proyectos mineros más controvertidos del último tiempo: Dominga. El domingo, la investigación denominada Pandora Papers -que en Chile contó con la participación de los medios Ciper y LaBot- reveló que las familias de Sebastián Piñera y el empresario Carlos Alberto Délano concretaron una millonaria compraventa de la Minera Dominga en el paraíso fiscal de las Islas Vírgenes Británicas.El caso ha tenido naturalmente repercusiones políticas, partiendo por las amenazas de una acusación constitucional; y está por verse qué impacto tendrá en la campaña presidencial. Al mismo tiempo, lo revelado por los Pandora Papers es un nuevo ejemplo de cómo los grandes patrimonios se mueven globalmente, y de qué manera se ha intentado avanzar en transparencia. ¿Qué nos indica el negocio de la familia del presidente descrito en esta investigación periodística sobre la forma en la que se conducen estas transacciones? ¿Qué nos enseñan revelaciones como las contenidas en los Pandora Papers sobre la opacidad con la que se manejan este tipo de negocios?

In an epic Episode 10 we go deep.  Way deep...   MASSIVELY DEEP AND A BIG SHOW so fasten your seatbelts... Once in a great while you come across a person who has such depth and intelligence you are riveted by their presence and MELANIE PHILLIPS is such a person.  Her powerful statement on "Why I left the Left" as she was forced out of The Guardian UK is the talking point for her explanation on how anti-semitism has exploded around the UK and the rest of the world, once again.  You can't help but learn something and reflect on changing times by exploring what she has to share. Then we dive deeper into the bowels of suspicious accounting, questionable legal manuevering and outright alleged criminal activity and theft as we Listen Like Thieves to find out where the late MICHAEL HUTCHENCE's  $50 million and continuously counting disappeared.  Chateau, Villas, homes, cars, cash, all gone baby gone.  The Paradise Papers leak of 13 million documents detailing investments from Queen Elizabeth to Prince Andrew and all three of the last Presidents has let loose a Pandora's Box that won't be closed soon, and hopefully see light of day in a movie. Who the F**k is JACK BARTH?  Do you know who the Beatles were?  Well, there's a start.  How the movie YESTERDAY's credits and process got allegedly hijacked from an unknown 62-year-old screenwriter and taken over by two of Hollywood's finest, director Danny Boyle and writer/producer Richard Curtis. Then we dig Deeper than the Deep State with #OBAMAGATE and start to unveil how the loony Left's misplaced love for the former US President is starting to unravel document-by-document as that administration's illegal spying on US citizens comes to light with the framing of General Flynn.  Russian Tampering: FAKE  Steele Dossier: Bought and paid for by Clinton's people: FAKE and the FBI and CIA even admit it's rubbish.  Mueller Probe: HOAX    It doesn't matter whether you like or dislike the current administration they are the victims of criminal activity and it's unmasking time for real. It's stifling hot in your 747 from Bangkok back to the USA as it sits on the tarmac with the air conditioning turned off.  You've been on a Thai shoot forever, in monsoon season.  It's done.  You want to go home.  Why is the plane waiting?  Because star NICHOLAS CAGE is running late.  And then he arrives and the news gets worse.... Every wondered why Buddha is so enlightened but has a weight problem? Why JERRY SEINFELD's last show should have been at the Orpheum in Sioux City, Iowa, years ago.  "NO JOKES FOR YOU!" The Depth of Despair that MAIN STREAM MEDIA is so disgusting these days they have no place in our world for integrity or reporting.  I'm embarrassed to have attended the School of Journalism in Boulder, Colorado at CU in the 70's when it had integrity. The SON of God speaks out....he is more popular than Jesus, even though his Japanese firm lost $13m billion this past year. And why so much CRIME is committed by LEFT-HANDED females?  Are you at risk? Plus all the regular features, comment, reflections, boozy reflections of last night, Memorial Day redux, Fashion Fun and shout-outs to good people and great service.

David Grossman on the trail of Namibia's missing tax millions revealed in the massive leak of financial data known as the Paradise Papers.

In today's podcast, I discuss the recent Paradise Papers fiasco – the massive leak of sensitive, offshore financial information held by the Bermudan law firm Appleby. This thing has been a complete witch hunt in the media… The whiny journalists paint the wealthy and famous who parked money offshore as criminals… Though they begrudgingly admit their actions are completely legal. We explain why the wealthy, gasp, actually do some good for society and why we'd much rather the wealthy are able to keep more of their wealth than hand it over to the government to squander. But the Paradise Papers issue is more than just a media circus – it's class warfare. You won't want to miss my theory of why people are so angry today and why it's only going to get worse. You can listen here.

What are the Paradise Papers again? Find out during the second hour of Thursday's show!

There's been another round of revelations from the Paradise Papers - the leaked documents from a big offshore law firm. The leaks put Apple's tax affairs under scrutiny. The company shopped around for a tax haven after a crackdown on its controversial tax practices in Ireland. The BBC's Andrew Walker explains the background and Manuela Saragosa asks tax specialist Rita de la Feria, professor of tax law at the University of Leeds, whether it is possible to create a level playing field for tax globally. Also in the programme: Daniel Gallas reports from Brazil two years after the country's worst ever environmental accident. On November 5th 2015, a dam operated by the iron ore company Samarco - a joint venture between commodity giants Vale and BHP Biliton - burst in the town of Mariana.

A huge new leak of financial documents has revealed how the powerful and ultra-wealthy, including the British Queen's private estate, secretly invest vast amounts of cash in offshore tax havens. Donald Trump's commerce secretary is shown to have a stake in a firm dealing with Russians sanctioned by the US. The leak, dubbed the Paradise Papers, contains 13.4m documents, mostly from one leading firm in offshore finance. Manuela Saragosa hears more from the BBC's Dominic O'Connell.
