The Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists last week published a major investigation into lucrative tax shelters that Luxembourg provides to some of America’s largest corporations. Tax experts and lawyers helped a team of  ICIJ journalists unravel a variety of complicated accounting shell games that allowed corporations dodge billions in taxes.

To help explain the process to readers, Pulitzer Center grantee Mathilde Dratwa produced a short animated video that ran with the series. More than two dozen major newspapers, including The Guardian, Le Monde and Suddeutsche Zeitung, participated in the ICIJ reporting project and published the findings.

“What this shows once again is the power of collaborative cross-border reporting,” said Gerard Ryle, director of the ICIJ. “Journalists in different countries have reviewed the documents relevant to their own communities and shared their findings.”
