World leaders deny wrongdoing following 'Pandora Papers' leak

Several world leaders have denied wrongdoing after featuring in a huge leak of financial documents from offshore companies.
 
Dubbed the Pandora Papers, the 12 million files constitute the biggest such leak in history.
 
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Jordan's King Abdullah are among 35 current and former leaders linked to the files.
 
Both have issued statements saying they have done nothing wrong.
 
Jordan's royal palace said it was not unusual nor improper that King Abdullah owned property abroad.
 
Leaked documents show the leader secretly spent more than 70 million pounds on a property empire in the UK and US since taking power in 1999.
 
Meanwhile, a Kremlin spokesman questioned the reliability of the unsubstantiated information, after it detailed hidden wealth linked to President Putin and members of his inner circle.
 
The data was obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in Washington DC, which has been working with more than 140 media organisations on its biggest ever global investigation.
