World leaders implicated in offshore tax claims

LONDON (AVRUPA TIMES)-A vast collection of leaked documents have exposed an alleged network of offshore tax fortunes linked to world leaders including Russian President Vladimir Putin.

 

The documents are purported to be from Panama-based Monsack Fonseca, described as the world’s fourth-largest off-shore law firm and reveal secret companies linked to the families and associates of current and former heads of state in over 70 countries.

 

The Guardian reported that although Putin was not directly named in the documents, members of his inner circle were involved in a “fake share” deal worth as much as $2bn.

 

Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and current Syrian President Bashar al-Assad are also among those implicated of money laundering and tax evasion.

 

The documents were obtained by Germany’s Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, which shared them with International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and publications around the world.

 

The Guardian said the so-called Panama Papers contained 2.6 terabytes of data – more than the data released by U.S. intelligence informant Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks.
