Pandora Papers: World leaders deny wrongdoing after huge leak

Several world leaders have issues official statements denying any involvement in wrongdoing after a huge leak of millions of documents that reveal secret financial dealings of the global political elite.
The Pandora Papers investigation, which involved a consortium of 600 journalists from a variety of global media outlets, is based on the leak of some 11.9 million documents from 14 financial services companies around the globe.
Among those named in the papers are associates of Russian president Vladimir Putin, Former UK prime minister Tony Blair, King Abdullah of Jordan, and Czech prime minister Andrej Babis. All three have issued statements claiming they have done nothing wrong.
King Abdullah said claims he used offshore accounts to disguise a £70m hidden property empire were “defamatory and designed to target Jordan’s reputation”.
