Panama Papers

== Recovered sums from litigations, fines and back taxes ==
In April 2019, the ICIJ and European newspapers reported that the global tally of such payments exceeded one billion USD, and is now at 1.2 billion. In comparison, [[Great Britain]] recovered the largest position (253 million), followed by [[Denmark]] (237 million), [[Germany]] (183 million), [[Spain]] (164 million), [[France]] (136 million) and [[Australia]] (93 million). [[Colombia]] with 89 million recuperated the highest amount for South and Central American countries, which were heavily involved in the financial scandal. While investigations are ongoing in [[Austria]], [[Canada]] and [[Switzerland]], and more payments are to be expected, many countries are conducting continued inspections of companies and private individuals revealed in the report.<ref>{{Cite web|date=April 3, 2019|title=Panama Papers helps recover more than $1.2 billion around the world - ICIJ|url=https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/panama-papers-helps-recover-more-than-1-2-billion-around-the-world/|access-date=August 19, 2022|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Versteckte Gelder enthüllt: Was hats gebracht?|url=https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/versteckte-gelder-enthuellt-was-hats-gebracht-398448961616|access-date=August 19, 2022|website=Basler Zeitung|date=April 3, 2019 |language=de}}</ref>
