Am trying to access the “detailed 18-month research project” described in today’s Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/may/08/offshore-finance-emerging-countries-russia-david-cameron-summit but all I get is your excellent 2012 report and the 2014 update. Your links don’t work. Am also unsure why your report(s) wasn’t widely cited during Panama Papers rollout. Thanks for this essential work.
