Countries with politicians, public officials or close associates so far implicated in the leak.[1]

The Panama Papers[2] form a leaked set of 11.5 million confidential documents created by the Panamanian corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca that provide detailed information on more than 214,000 offshore companies, including the identities of shareholders and directors. The documents identify (as directors and shareholders of such companies) current government leaders from five countries — Argentina, Iceland, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates — as well as government officials, close relatives and close associates of various heads of government of more than 40 other countries, including Brazil, China, Peru, France, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Syria and the United Kingdom.[1]

Comprising documents created since the 1970s that amount to 2.6 terabytes of data, the papers were supplied to the Süddeutsche Zeitung in August 2015 by an anonymous source, and subsequently to the U.S.-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). The papers were distributed to and analyzed by about 400 journalists at 107 media organizations in more than 80 countries. The first news reports based on the set, along with 149 of the documents themselves, were published on April 3, 2016, and a full list of companies is to be released in early May 2016.

Background

Main article: Mossack Fonseca

Mossack Fonseca is a Panamanian law firm and corporate service provider founded in 1977 by Jürgen Mossack and Ramón Fonseca.[3] The company's services include incorporating companies in offshore jurisdictions, administering offshore firms and providing wealth management services.[4] A 2012 Economist article said it is believed to be an industry leader in its country.[5] The company has more than 500 employees in over 40 offices around the world.[3] The firm has acted on behalf of more than 300,000 companies, most of which are registered in the UK or are British-administered tax havens.[4]

The Guardian describes Mossack Fonseca as the fourth-largest offshore law firm in the world.[6] The firm works with the world's biggest financial institutions, such as Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Société Générale, Credit Suisse, UBS, Commerzbank and Nordea.[3][7] Before the Panama Papers leak, Mossack Fonseca was described by the Economist as a "tight-lipped" industry leader in offshore finance.[5]

An article on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation website explains:[8]

Using complex shell company structures and trust accounts Mossack Fonseca services allow its clients to operate behind an often impenetrable wall of secrecy. Mossack Fonseca's success relies on a global network of accountants and prestigious banks that hire the law firm to manage the finances of their wealthy clients. Banks are the big drivers behind the creation of hard-to-trace companies in tax havens. Much of the firm's work is perfectly legal and benign. But for the first time the leak takes us inside its inner workings, providing rare insight into an operation which offers shady operators plenty of room to manoeuvre.

Leak

More than a year before the first publication of the Panama leaks in April 2016,[9] the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung was offered large caches of documents from an anonymous source. The paper accepted and began to receive more and more material; in the space of a year they acquired a total of 2.6 terabytes of data consisting of documents related to Mossack Fonseca,[10] providing information on 214,488 offshore entities related to public officials.[11] The leak consists of 11.5 million documents created between the 1970s and late 2015 by Mossack Fonseca.[6] The reporters communicated with the source only via encrypted channels.[12] This data was distributed to and analyzed by about 400 journalists at 107 media organizations in more than 80 countries.[6] After more than a year, the first news reports based on the set, along with 149 of the documents themselves,[13] were published on April 3, 2016.[10] Among other planned disclosures, the full list of companies is to be released in early May 2016.[14]

The total size of the leaked documents dwarfs that of the Wikileaks Cablegate 2010[10] (1.7 GB),[15] Offshore Leaks 2013 (260 GB), Lux Leaks 2014 (4 GB), and Swiss Leaks 2015 (3.3 GB). The data primarily comprises e-mails, PDF files, photos, and excerpts of an internal Mossack Fonseca database. It covers a period spanning from the 1970s to 2016.[10] The Panama Papers leak provides data on some 214,000 companies. There is a folder for each shell firm that contains e-mails, contracts, transcripts, and scanned documents.[10] The leak comprises 4,804,618 emails, 3,047,306 database format files, 2,154,264 PDFs, 1,117,026 images, 320,166 text files, and 2,242 files in other formats.[10]

The data had to be systematically indexed. This was done with proprietary software developed by an Australian company named Nuix, which is also used by international investigators. The documents were fed to high-performance computers for optical character recognition processing, making the data machine-readable and searchable. Compiled lists of important people were then cross matched against the processed documents.[10] The next step in the analysis is to connect people, roles, monetary flow, and structure legality.[10]

Contents

People

Main article: List of people named in the Panama Papers

Early reports noted financial and power connections between multiple high-ranking political figures and their relatives.[16][6][1] For example, the Argentine President Mauricio Macri was listed as a director of a Bahamas-based trading company that he did not disclose during his tenure as Mayor of Buenos Aires; it is not clear whether disclosure of non-equity directorships was then required.[16] The Guardian reported that the leak revealed an extensive conflict of interest connection between a member of the FIFA Ethics Committee and former FIFA vice president Eugenio Figueredo.[17]

Several current national leaders have been named in the Panama Papers, including presidents Mauricio Macri of Argentina, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates, Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine, as well as the Prime Minister of Iceland Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson.[1] Among former country leaders, there were the Sudanese President Ahmed al-Mirghani, the Emir of Qatar Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, as well as prime ministers of Georgia (Bidzina Ivanishvili), Iraq (Ayad Allawi), Jordan (Ali Abu al-Ragheb), Qatar (Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani) Ukraine (Pavlo Lazarenko),[1] and Moldova (Ion Sturza).[18]

Government officials, as well as close relatives and close associates of various heads of government from well over 40 different countries have also been named, including those from Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Botswana, Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Ghana, Greece, Guinea, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Malta, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Africa, Spain, Syria, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Venezuela and Zambia.[1] Although initially noted that there were no people from the United States in the Panama papers,[19] this is incorrect.[20]

The leaked files identified 61 family members and associates of prime ministers, presidents and kings,[21] including the brother-in-law of China's paramount leader Xi Jinping,[1] the father of British Prime Minister David Cameron,[22] the son of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak,[1] children of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif,[1] and the "favourite contractor" of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.[1]

The name of Vladimir Putin "does not appear in any of the records" according to The Guardian, but the newspaper published a lengthy front-page article detailing "Putin's childhood friends and former judo partners" who appear on the list, including construction billionaires Arkady and Boris Rotenberg, professional musician Sergei Roldugin, and business magnate Alisher Usmanov.[23] Political scientist Karen Dawisha said that it was "inconceivable" that the men would have acquired such wealth in the absence of Putin's patronage.[23] The cellist Sergei Rolduguin, Putin's friend since adolescence and godfather of one of the daughters of the Russian leader, created several opaque companies in Panama to launder about 2,000 million dollars. He had the help of major Russian state companies, including the Bank Rossia, the Cypriot subsidiary bank VTB and the telecommunications operator Rostelecom, among others. The documents indicate that Roldugin, who says that he is not a businessman, has acquired assets worth at least $100 million, including a 12.5% stake in Video International, Russia's largest television advertising firm.[23] Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, claimed that the main objective of the leak of the Panama Papers is Russian President Vladimir Putin and aims to destabilize the situation in Russia. He also said that the research was "unprofessional". Research broadcasted by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) shows how several entrepreneurs and at least one personal friend of Russian President managed up to 2,000 million dollars through banks and shell corporations. Although the Panama Papers splashes hundreds of politicians, athletes and celebrities from around the world, including twelve former and current world leaders, the Kremlin claims that it is "obvious that the attack is directed primarily against our country and against President Putin in person." [24]

Other documents reveal movements of companies "offshore" related to the family of Chinese paramount leader Xi Jinping; the president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko; and the late father of British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Research documents lasted for a year, led by the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung and the ICIJ, and with the collaboration of journalists from more than a hundred media from around the world.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had promised voters he would sell his candy business, Roshen, when he ran for office in 2014, but the leaked documents indicated that instead he set up an offshore holding company to move his business to the British Virgin Islands, possibly saving millions of dollars in Ukrainian taxes.[25]

Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson

The data also brought to light that Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson had an undeclared interest in his country's failed banks, held through an offshore company. Leaked documents show that he and his wife bought offshore company Wintris Inc. in 2007. The ICIJ said that they bought it "from Mossack Fonseca through the Luxembourg branch of Landsbanki, one of Iceland’s three big banks".[26] He did not declare an interest in the company when entering parliament in 2009, and sold his 50% of Wintris to his wife, eight months later, for $1,[27] before "a new Icelandic law took effect that would have required him to declare the ownership [...] as a conflict of interest.[28]" Sigmundur Davíð is now facing calls for his resignation, but on April 4, 2016 he announced on live television that he would not be resigning in the wake of the Panama Papers revelations, calling its content "nothing new".[29] He says he has not broken any rules, and his wife did not benefit financially from his decisions.[27]

Several high-profile individuals connected with the world governing body of association football, FIFA, include former President of CONMEBOL Eugenio Figueredo,[17] former President of UEFA Michel Platini,[30] former Secretary General of FIFA Jérôme Valcke,[30] as well as current Argentine player Lionel Messi. From Italy the head manager of "Metro" Antonio Guglielmi [17] Indian actors Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been named among other Indians by The Indian Express .[31] Even people like Jackie Chan have been mentioned in the scandal. According to El Siglo, "The actor, according to internal documents of Mossack Fonseca, is shareholder of 6 companies and all based in the British Virgin Islands.[32]

Companies

Mossack Fonseca has managed in excess of 300,000 companies over the years,[4] with the number of active companies having peaked at over 80,000 in 2009. Over 210,000 companies in 21 offshore jurisdictions appear in the Panama leaks, more than half of which were incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and many others in Panama, the Bahamas, the Seychelles, Niue, and Samoa. Over the years, Mossack Fonseca worked with clients in more than 100 countries; most of the corporations were from Hong Kong, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Panama, and Cyprus. Mossack Fonseca worked with more than 14,000 banks, law firms, incorporators and others to set up companies, foundations, and trusts for these clients. More than 500 banks registered nearly 15,600 shell companies with Mossack Fonseca, with HSBC and its affiliates created more than 2,300 in total. Dexia (Luxembourg), J. Safra Sarasin (Luxembourg), Credit Suisse (Channel Islands) and UBS (Switzerland) each requested at least 500 offshore companies for their clients,[33] while Nordea (Luxembourg) requested nearly 400.[34]

Reaction

Gerard Ryle, director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, believed the leak would be "probably the biggest blow the offshore world has ever taken because of the extent of the documents."[27] The leak was described by Edward Snowden, the source of 2013 leak of NSA's global surveilance program, as the "biggest leak in the history of data journalism" in a Twitter message.[35]

Mossack Fonseca response

In response to queries from the The Miami Herald and ICIJ, Mossack Fonseca issued a 2900-word statement. In substance, the response identified legal and compliance regimes around the world that reduce the ability of individuals to use offshore companies for tax avoidance and total anonymity. In particular, they cited the FATF protocols that (for companies and financial institutions in the majority of countries in the world) require identification of ultimate beneficial owners of all companies (including offshore companies) to open accounts and transact business.

In an accompanying Editor's note, The Miami Herald stated that the Mossack Fonseca statement "did not address any of the specific due-diligence failings uncovered by reporters."[36]

Accused clients

Following an interview in advance of the leak, Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson and his wife issued public statements about journalist encroachment in their private lives and insisted on the completeness of their legal disclosures. Sigmundur Davíð was expected to receive calls for a snap election in parliament.[37]

An HSBC spokesman commented that "the allegations are historical, in some cases dating back 20 years, predating our significant, well-publicized reforms implemented over the last few years."[38]

The Messi family announced the filing of a complaint and the corresponding disproved after the appearance of information of the Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, released in Spain by El Confidencial and LaSexta, accusing him to assemble a network of tax evasion in Panama. They say that "we have never used the society which would vinculate Leo Messi with the so called 'Panama Papers' and the player's lawyers are "studying legal action" against the media that have spread the news. Messi refers to different broadcasted news by international media grouped in the so-called International Consortium of Journalists on creating a corporate structure that would aim to launch a new network of tax fraud news." "Lionel Messi has not carried out any of the acts alleged against him in them, being false and slanderous accusations have designed a new frame of tax evasion and even create a network of money laundering" ensures in the statement. Messi reports that the Panamanian society to which they refer such information -Mega Star Enterprises- is "a totally inactive company, which never had funds or current accounts". The same, according to the statement of Messi, derived from "an old corporate structure designed by the previous tax advisers of the Messi family, whose tax consequences for Lionel Messi already been regularized at the time". In addition, they say Messi declared before the Spanish Hacienda "all income from the exploitation of their image rights accrued before and after the proceedings before the Tax Agency"[39]

The Kirchner family retaliated against publications of Argentine newspapers about the scandal of 'Panama Papers'.

Research in the international consortium of journalists (ICIJ, in English) and the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, comes out the names of Nestor and Maria Cristiana Kirchner. They say that "Given the global turmoil in which unfortunately is included our country with leaks called Panama Papers, money laundering and tax evasion in the tax haven of Panama, unveiled by the international consortium of Journalists (ICIJ, in English) and German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung, some clarifications.Unfortunately what constitutes a creative unprofessional local press exercise, newspaper Perfil published: "Mauricio Macri and the Kirchner family contained in an investigation into alleged laundering in Panama". A long list of grievances and falsehoods to confuse and defraud the public that we have witnessed in silence.The Kirchner family does not appear in any investigation of this unfortunate scam in which he discredits the country. President Cristina Kirchner former has been one of the strongest international complainants against this deplorable practice of evasion and laundering in tax havens such as shaking today to world public opinion. A sadly common practice in concentrated business groups that produce capital leak, as we have said quite often.And there was never accounts in Seychelles or Nevada or departments in New York on behalf of any member of the Kirchner family, nor is there any family relationship with the leaks revealed today, except the obvious journalistic intention to continue scamming Argentina citizenship. We reiterate, the Kirchner family does not own any account, no society, no good whatsoever on the outside and at the time we decided to buy one, it would appear as befits the DDJJ of AFIP, office anticorruption and other relevant bodies, because as Nestor always said, speak and act against the Argentine people.Whoever it is mentioned and central role in today's revelations, unfortunately for our country is nothing less than the President of the Republic Mauricio Macri ".[40]

Official reactions and investigations

Australia

The Australian Tax Office subsequently announced that it was investigating 800 individual Australian taxpayers who were clients of Mossack Fonseca and that some of the cases could be referred to the country's Serious Financial Crime Task Force.[41]

China

Relatives of highly placed Chinese officials including seven leaders and former leaders of Politburo of the Communist Party of China have been named. China has attempted to suppress mentions of the Panama Papers on social media and in the results of search engines.

France

French financial prosecutors opened a probe, and President François Hollande said that tax evaders would be brought to trial and punished.[42]

India

Popular Indian celebrities such as Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are involved according to these papers.[43] Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered an inquiry.[44]

New Zealand

New Zealand's Inland Revenue Department said that they were working to obtain details of people resident for tax in the country who may have been involved in arrangements facilitated by Mossack Fonseca.[45]

Panama

The Procuraduría de la Nación announces that it will open an investigation concerning the international journalistic investigation 'Panama papers', where Mossack Fonseca is involved. Mossack is marked to an alleged irregular handling of money through a offshore paradise.

Sweden

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority said it would launch an investigation into the actions of Nordea, one of the largest financial institutions in the Nordic countries, after Panama Papers revealed the company's Luxembourg office had helped to set up nearly 400 offshore companies for its clients. Nordea cut all ties with Mossack Fonseca following an interview with Nordea CEO Casper von Koskull on SVT.[46][7][34]

Ukraine

Following the revelation of possible tax avoidance by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Oleh Lyashko, leader of the Radical Party, urged lawmakers to initiate impeachment proceedings against Poroshenko.[25] The scandal flared up amid bitter political infighting between Poroshenko's bloc and the party of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, which has raged for months and involved mutual accusations of corruption.[25]

United Kingdom

Jennie Granger, a spokeswoman for the United Kingdom's tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), said that the department had received "a great deal of information on offshore companies, including in Panama, from a wide range of sources, which is currently the subject of intensive investigation". She said the ICIJ had been asked to share all its data with HMRC.[27][47]
