on the twenty second of may a series of major news stories broke across west africa in a simultaneous publication now known as the west africa leaks journalists from eleven countries had pored over gigabytes of data nearly thirty million leaked documents on tax havens and the secretive offshore companies of the rich and powerful like the panama papers investigations of two thousand and sixteen and the paradise paper's stories last year this collaboration was coordinated by the i.c.i. j. the international consortium of investigative journalists based in the us it worked alongside the norbert zongo cell for investigative journalism or sonos zero in
1:20 pm
brooklyn a fast so we've reported on the i.c.i. j.s work before and we've been tracking these particular investigations since february when the journalists involved first met to lay the groundwork what sets the west africa leaks apart from other i.c. i j collaboration's is the media landscape the conditions in which the journalists work taking on powerful individuals institutions and a global financial system that secretive by design is difficult for any reporter in west africa that's just the beginning and one of this group of journalists greatest challenges was getting their readers their governments and in some cases even the media outlets they work for to care. listening posts make me your head now in the making and breaking of the west africa leaks. west africa is the largest of our collaboration of investigative reporters from across west africa the vision matters to me it really seems to be badly on there
1:21 pm
i have reported. on. this from. africa. we have thirteen journalists exploring nearly thirty million offshore financial records. suppose she's there. why. is someone who has nothing no islamist no twenty any money why is she the dad talk for him on. this is a mom who's championing for some poor but makes the literates effort to deny that tax from oil same with global media collaboration's not only is that the more the merrier but the more the country.
1:22 pm
well they were. starting off so probably. the west african league's got it starting sending up we're going to find a much more interesting name for this project over the next two days and we're starting to measure. in a two day workshop organized by the i c i j and soon journalists were given access to a compilation of data from six major leaks held by the i.c. i just to go through. the palaces and share with you some. just the purpose of the workshop was not only to introduce the journalists to the data but also to help them start reading between the lines you don't go offshore and write in a name now that you want to evade taxes lawyers and potential crooks are
1:23 pm
a lot more sophisticated than that and therefore understanding how to read the signs and how to interpret the red flags in offshore documents is crucial on was up here. on my contacts it. was up to the milky. going to do more samples. then more in doing stories of this nature it's very important to take. right technology to use it's not for you the journalist to see somebody has. the duty of that socrates. to go and so they. don't. have it in the default but this will. be what they didn't even need. to put the. simple on the did.
1:24 pm
but. then you would put this in address yeah. it's not necessarily. true address i'm here to address where you live. yeah mike you don't let walk. alone doesn't tell a story you need to investigate what did the presents to you to have a part of the work but fortunately i did find some documents and i started building hypothesis on the documents and set of questions. coming to the end of the first editorial meeting out here in dhaka the journalists behind me have been given access to six projects or relating to the murky world of offshore finance primed for the investigations time to head out and begin digging through the data and hopefully stock in anything that does the west africa leaks is the i c r j's
1:25 pm
seventh major media collaboration investigating official finance they can of course spiegel legitimate reasons for an individual or a company to keep assets off shore over the past few years however the consortium has broken multiple stories documenting serious abuse of the system. there are good reasons why the ice has to focus on west africa for its latest investigative collaboration first the economics according to the un more than sixteen billion dollars a year is moved offshore from west africa illegally which amounts to more than the g.d.p. of six of its poorest countries combined second governance authorities here either lack the ability or the will to stop money from being stashed offshore where computex and as the investigations reveal politicians are often the worst culprits . and then you have the media news organizer. but on state run not typically by
1:26 pm
those in power or those close to the second average all too often visible way from holding the check count which is why didn't take long for these journalists to start finding some newsworthy story. the second largest and the second poorest country in west africa. it's the eleven million newspaper is investigating a government funded project worth around fifteen million dollars in two thousand and nine a contract to build a modern refrigerated stroll to house was awarded to an obscure australian company rich stood offshore with links to the new syrian minister of livestock. in the day i found that money was paid to the australian firm but a large amount of it went missing the new facility was meant to boost users meeting tuesday when he went to the site of the school top house maybe a decade on he found that it had not been built. spectacular.
1:27 pm
big if you ask about plot. and not. the next story is in tokyo the journalist however is not next seen domini earth porter for a lot of. works in exile and his office not to reveal his vacation he's on the government's radar not only is a critical journalist but also as a member of a movement that has called for the removal of the president for yes has been in power since two thousand and five over the past anti-government demonstrations take or have been escalating and as the authorities began to crack down on the chest to flee the country. to go. just simply good. show. up in
1:28 pm
a. city move. it to fit some people see. it as it is and this. do you not think that those political activities have compromised your standing as a journalist in the country you know. syria. and a school visits. when i know when i. could do without a gun is a good t.v. . so i was informed there is dolls. domenici investigation focuses on the financial dealings of patrice ya'll kind of katrina the businessman to come. ties to target ruling family according to leaked
1:29 pm
documents from h.s.b.c. private bank in switzerland in two thousand and five kind of control trying to bypass turkey's banking restrictions and wire one point two million dollars out of the country and in turn you could set up an account at the time he held director level positions q state run companies and both of them were on the verge of bankruptcy dummy's challenge has been to corroborate the data in the documents with information back. in exile. you create. i can bank she's going to. do new someone down the minute in this yes and then i'm going. to go down there on the school to keep. the seats. and i want to set the
1:30 pm
best song of that postulate that i was that. the rebel sons of movie lives under that model sort of prison that they defeat. what they did was that if it fits. emmanuel dog davy is the managing editor of chrono business news an online publication he is investigating a form a guy named ambassador to the united states made by way to say on his foundation's website it's described as a philanthropist and humanitarian looking through documents leaked to the i.c. from the permuted based girlfriend appleby doug davy discovered that if you say used the spider web or for fuel pump and he's to hide from god named tax authorities his share of a three hundred five million dollars oil to. worry everyone about the diploma.
1:31 pm
should know better and conduct himself in the most ethical way register osho company so he would more or less maximize his profit and lessen his taxes that is. contrary to the. vienna convention dies the conduct of diplomats on duty he engaged in business activities and more seriously in offshore business while he was to lamesa there is a clear conflict of interest and i use of his in this matter. into the ministry of foreign affairs. they haven't responded to my questions and that's very typical of gandhian politicians they ignore you when you have very serious and important questions to ask they would not respond if there is a pond out thought they will respond after the facts. but
1:32 pm
this simply didn't respond to the queries and only went to simple questions responses us to what the minister would do would normally under circumstances of that nature but didn't respond it seems to be a pattern of behavior here where government institutions or business leaders don't feel the need to respond to journalists why do you think that is i think it's simply impunity i definitely did everything emails phone calls handily ventilated. i give the whole deal but you did the world would be over a month or two on the sort of quest so they hope. so with stuff alexis coming out next tuesday that's really spending a lot of time at the moment helping our partners get over the line. powerful people
1:33 pm
in that part of the well really don't like to respond to questions so i'm. spending lots of time on the phone. i'm going to run the course ok i've got. i've been helping west africa links partners make contact with and get responses from a number of subjects across the west african region i should say that this really is a two pronged approach that is the journalist in country will always try on their own and to make contact with that person about whom they're writing a story but as we've found in a number of cases that local journalist is seen as the need for the standing of an important person or a politician in the country to respond to it so what i'm trying to do then is call from the u.s. number and it's surprisingly effective. yes good afternoon is this is this ms broad parka hello. hello ms broad program on ems we'll fix given what according to the
