Twenty-eight countries would mount the most ambitious international investigation in history to hunt down tax evaders identified in the Panama Papers leak under a plan by Australian Tax Commissioner Chris Jordan.
Mr Jordan has called a meeting in Paris for Wednesday of tax officials from around the world and will propose a joint international investigation with experts from each of the participating countries.

National tax authorities have approached ICIJ members in Ireland, Canada, the United States, Sweden, Germany, Greece, Bulgaria, Taiwan, Indonesia and Latvia seeking access to the data, while in Peru, tax officers raided Mossack Fonseca offices in Lima.
The ICIJ has said its long-term policy was not to turn over the material, which was originally obtained by Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich through an informant.
“The ICIJ is not an arm of law enforcement and is not an agent of the government,” a spokesman said.
The organisation plans to release the names of all of the 240,000 offshore entities set up by Mossack Fonseca, along with directors and shareholders, next month.
