One of the largest data leaks in the history revealed how the world leaders hide their cash and the names of more than 500 Indians, who are linked to off-shore companies, also surfaced.

The investigation by The Indian Express revealed that there were 234 Indian passports (handed over by clients as part of the incorporation process).
