The Panama Papers affair has widened, with a huge database of documents relating to more than 200,000 offshore accounts posted online.

The database became accessible from 18:00 GMT at offshoreleaks.icij.org.

The papers belonged to Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca and were leaked to a German newspaper by a source simply known as "John Doe".

The company denies any wrongdoing.

"We do not intend to suggest or imply that any persons, companies or other entities included in the ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly" the ICIJ said, pointing out that there were legitimate uses of offshore companies.

The names of Sri Lankan companies and officers mentioned in the Panama Papers are given below. The complete database also includes the names released in 2013 by the ICIJ under "Offshore Leaks". They can be found here: List Of Sri Lankans Named By ICIJ In 'Offshore Leaks'
