The so-called "Pandora Papers" investigation is based on the leak of some 11.9 million documents drawn from 14 financial services companies in countries including the British Virgin Islands, Panama, Belize, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Switzerland. Panama fears the new publication could again taint its reputation, which was seriously damaged by the "Panama Papers" scandal, according to a government letter released by local media.
