PANDORA PAPERS REVEAL THE HIDDEN WEALTH OF LEADERS, CELEBRITIES, AND BILLIONAIRES....
A huge leak of financial documents has put the spotlight on the hidden assets of some of the world's most powerful people.
Jordan
The Pandora Papers revealed that King Abdullah II of Jordan secretly spent more than £70m ($100m) on a property empire in the UK and US.
But stories on the leak were notably absent in Jordan where - observers say - local media censor themselves and avoid subjects that are implicitly off limits.
On Monday morning, the state-run Petra news agency, as well as the privately-owned Al-Ghad, Al-Dustour and Jordan Times newspapers, were all leading instead on the king's comments about democratic reforms in the country.
They were also prioritizing stories about King Abdullah meeting the World Bank president, and his first phone call with Syria's President Bashar al-Assad since the start of the Syrian civil war a decade ago.
