It will continue to analyse its holdings against other relevant datasets, including any material that comes out of future data leaks, in order to identify tax avoidance, evasion, assets for recovery, professional enablers who are facilitating financial crime and misconduct, and international bribery and corruption.</p><p>All of the powers listed in the question are vested in taskforce members. The number of officers holding each different power is not recorded centrally.
