Panama Revisted

The people over at The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists have updated the released panama data. Its not clear to me if that is more data than they had already released, or that this time it is a ready made Neo4J database. They provide two versions of the database, Windows and Mac. Its easy to get it to work in Linux, just copy the graph.db file from out of the archive into the databases directory of your Neo4J install.

I made a quick query to look for officers with the same address. Seems there some, it would need something more sophisticated to did any deeper.

MATCH (n:Officer)–(a:Address)–(m:Officer) RETURN n,a,m LIMIT 25

Java Panama Papers Neo4J Network Generator

Further to the first attempt at importing the Panama Papers network data into Neo4J I did a very quick Java program that greats an embedded Neo4J database. It needs a bit of checking as it finds nodes that have the same node_id. Which I assume is some sort of mistake in the program or the data, it also looks like there is some duplicate relationships.

This program generates relationships of the different types. Such as ‘officer_of’, rather than the hack used to get Cypher to import the data (see earlier post).

The code can be found in my new github.

Below is Blairmore, Ian Cameron, the intermediary, and loads of other companies that use the same intermediary.

Panama Papers: Import Data to Neo4J using Cypher

I downloaded the panama paper network data, I was hoping it would be all the data, sadly not. Its it still interesting however. The import process is not to tricky. The following Cypher commands will get the data into a running Neo4J database. Note there is a \” in the Addresses file that will break the import. Search for it an replace with \ “. Data can be downloaded from here.

To get the relationships in we have to do a bit of hack as you cannot generate a relationship type on the fly from a CSV file with Cypher. I will do this properly with a bit of Java soon.

Change the paths! This is for the Addresses:

USING PERIODIC COMMIT LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:/path/Addresses.csv' AS line CREATE (:Addresses { address: line.address, icij_id: line.icij_id, valid_until: line.valid_until, country_codes: line.country_codes, countries: line.countries, node_id: toInt(line.node_id), sourceID: line.sourceID})

For the Intermediaries:

USING PERIODIC COMMIT LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:/path/Intermediaries.csv' AS line CREATE (:Intermediaries { name: line.name, internal_id: line.internal_id, address: line.address, valid_until: line.valid_until, country_codes: line.country_codes, countries: line.countries, status: line.status, node_id: toInt(line.node_id), sourceID: line.sourceID})

Officers:

USING PERIODIC COMMIT LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:/path/Officers.csv' AS line CREATE (:Officers { name: line.name, icij_id: line.icij_id, valid_until: line.valid_until, country_codes: line.country_codes, countries: line.countries, node_id: toInt(line.node_id), sourceID: line.sourceID})

Entities:

USING PERIODIC COMMIT LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:/path/Entities.csv' AS line CREATE (:Entities { name: line.name, original_name: line.original_name, former_name: line.former_name, jurisdiction: line.jurisdiction, jurisdiction_description: line.jurisdiction_description, company_type: line.company_type, address: line.address, internal_id: line.internal_id, incorporation_date: line.incorporation_date, inactivation_date: line.inactivation_date, struck_off_date: line.struck_off_date, dorm_date: line.dorm_date, status: line.status, service_provider: line.service_provider, ibcRUC: toInt(line.ibcRUC) , country_codes: line.country_codes, countries: line.countries, note: line.note, valid_until: line.valid_until, node_id: toInt(line.node_id), sourceID: line.sourceID})

Finally the relationships, or edges. Note the hack, all relationships are of type ACCOC. This isn’t a big problem but offends me a little bit. I will post you Java code that generates the graph dir from the files.

USING PERIODIC COMMIT LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:/path/all_edges.csv' AS csvLine
MATCH (n1 { id: toInt(csvLine.node_1)}),(n2 { id: toInt(csvLine.node_2)})
CREATE (n1)-[:ACCOC {role: csvLine.rel_type}]->(n2)
