The Panama Papers stories written by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, McClatchy, the Miami Herald, Süddeutsche Zeitung and other media partners including the Toronto Star won a Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting on Monday.

“This honour is a testament to the enterprise and teamwork of our staff and our partners here in the United States and around the world,” said Gerard Ryle, ICIJ’s director, in a statement posted on the ICIJ website. “We’re honoured that the Pulitzer Board recognized the groundbreaking revelations and worldwide impact that the Panama Papers collaboration produced.”

The “Panama Papers” project involved collaboration of 100 media outlets with journalists in 80 countries who worked together to investigate 11.5 million files leaked from inside Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-headquartered law firm that specialized in building offshore companies.

As part of the collaboration the Star published more than 50 exclusive reports as part of the Panama Papers leak.

The Star’s Robert Cribb, Marco Chown Oved and Tanya Talaga all contributed to the project that exposed offshore companies linked to more than 140 politicians in more than 50 countries — including 14 current or former world leaders, according to the ICIJ statement. It also uncovered offshore hideaways tied to mega-banks, corporate bribery scandals, drug kingpins, Syria’s air war on its own citizens and a network of people close to Russian President Vladimir Putin that shuffled as much as $2 billion around the world, it said.
