The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists publishes today a searchable database that strips away the secrecy of nearly 214,000 offshore entities created in 21 jurisdictions, from Nevada to Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands.

The data, part of the Panama Papers investigation, is the largest ever release of information about offshore companies and the people behind them. This includes, when available, the names of the real owners of those opaque structures.

The database also displays information about more than 100,000 additional offshore entities ICIJ had already disclosed in its 2013 Offshore Leaks investigation.

The database contains over 30 names from Armenia, including Mihran Poghosyan, now former Head of the Compulsory Enforcement Service of Judicial Orders of the Republic of Armenia.

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists studied 11 million documents of Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm, which were handed to the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung by an unknown person.

The results of the investigation have been simultaneously published in several major world outlets, such as Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the Guardian, BBC Panorama program, the Russian Novaya Gazeta. 

The publications referred to offshore companies that Fonseca Mossack registered for many world leaders and their kids. In total, the publications referred to 72 leaders of the different states.
