The Panama Papers Scandal are an unprecedented leak of 11.5 million confidential documents from the database of the
Panamanian corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca which is the fourth biggest offshore law firm of the world. The
leaked documents provide detailed information about more than 214,000 offshore companies including the identities of
shareholders and directors of the companies. The documents show how wealthy individuals, including public officials, hid their

dealings. The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) of Bangladesh has already initiated to launch investigation against the
Bangladeshi citizens and companies named in Panama Papers scam.
