Meanwhile, Britain’s former Prime Minister Tony Blair saved over 300-thousand pounds in stamp duty after purchasing a London office.

The almost 12 million files detail how companies hired wealthy clients to create offshore accounts to save money in tax havens including Panama, Dubai, Monaco, Switzerland, and the Cayman Islands.

More than 100 billionaires featured in the leak, alongside celebrities, rock stars and business leaders.

Meanwhile, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which organised the investigation says the people featured in the Pandora Papers are often using offshore accounts “to enrich their own families, at the expense of their citizens”.

This leak is the latest in a string of similar events, including the FinCen Files, the Paradise Papers, the Panama Papers and LuxLeaks.

US and China approve TikTok’s sale to Oracle and Silver Lake amid regulatory scrutiny, with ByteDance retaining 20%.

The United States and China have officially approved a deal for TikTok’s US operations to be sold to American investors, led by Oracle and Silver Lake.

This marks a major shift in the social media landscape as the platform navigates increasing regulatory scrutiny.

Under the new agreement, ByteDance will retain just under 20% of TikTok US, while Oracle and Silver Lake will each take 15% stakes. Other investors will also participate, forming a structure designed to satisfy both commercial and regulatory demands.

The new US-based entity will have a majority American board tasked with overseeing data protection and content moderation. Despite these safeguards, concerns remain about ByteDance’s influence and whether the deal fully complies with recent legislation.
