I guess just like the Panama papers, leading journalists will be killed, investigations stop being reported in mainstream media, and the world goes quiet again with nothing changing.

There were politicians in Iceland, Spain, Ukraine who resigned. There were multiple criminal investigations, and convictions. There were no earth shattering mass arrests and government topplings, but it's unrealistic to expect such a thing.

  And the current US president has mentioned international tax treaties as an issue he wants progress on.

Things happened: https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/five-years-later-panama-papers-still-having-a-big-impact/ https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/five-years... E.g. In Denmark, the country’s tax minister cited the Panama Papers to justify hiring hundreds of new employees to bolster the fight against tax fraud. It was high news and had consequences. There is much work to be done, but 'nothing changing' is not the case.

Journalists got killed over reporting about and investigating the Panama Papers? I guess you are referring to Daphne Caruana Galizia. That would still be singular, though.

"leading journalist will be killed"? Who? Panama papers did the round for weeks/months in the media around the world.

Well hopefully it'll show a few more people that our current PM Babiš isn't the anti-corruption people-lover he paints himself to be. Election's next week, so no time for investigations to fade away.
