KATHMANDU: The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) is making public the database of the scandalous Panama Papers on Monday. With information on more than 200,000 offshore entities, the searchable database is likely to include names and details of Nepali nationals also. In 2013, the ICIJ's Offshore Leaks Database had listed 13 Nepalis. * An interactive map published in the Irish Times in April, based on the data collected by ICIJ for the Panama Papers leak, suggested that there are seven people from Nepal who are shareholders in offshore firms. Syed Nazakat, who is associated with the ICIJ and is the editor-in-chief of the Centre for Investigative Journalism in India, hinted on Twitter that the Panama Papers database includes names and details of Nepali nationals also.
