https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossack_Fonseca The firm was founded by German lawyer Jürgen Mossack in 1977 and joined by Panamanian novelist/lawyer Ramón Fonseca in 1986.[7] It later added a third director, Swiss lawyer Christoph Zollinger.[8] It specialized in commercial law, trust services, investor advisory, and international business structures.[9] It also offered intellectual property protection and maritime law services.[1][10] An internal memorandum revealed in the 2016 Panama papers leak noted that 95% of the company's work consisted of "selling vehicles to avoid taxes".[11]
Mossack Fonseca & Co. (Spanish pronunciation: [mos.ˈsak̚k fõn.ˈse.ka]) was a Panamanian law firm and corporate service provider.[1][3] It was, at one time, the world's fourth largest provider of offshore financial services. From its 1977 foundation until the April 2016 publication of the Panama Papers it remained mostly obscure, even though it sat at the heart of the global offshore industry, and acted for about 300,000 companies. More than half are registered in British tax havens – as well as in the UK.[4] The firm received worldwide media attention in April 2016, when the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists published information about its clients' financial dealings in the Panama Papers articles, following the release of an enormous cache of its documents from between 1970 and 2015 leaked to the news media.[5]
On March 14, 2018, the law firm announced that it was shutting down, because of the economic and reputational damage inflicted by the disclosure of its role in global tax evasion by the Panama Papers.[6] ......
The firm had allegedly helped foreign citizens circumvent their local tax laws[8][23][24] and sometimes even international sanctions.[8][25] The firm's founder argued that it simply helps its clients achieve privacy, and that it now complies with "know your customer" regulations.[15]
"Panama Papers" leak Main article: Panama Papers
On 3 April 2016, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) announced that 11.5 million confidential documents from the firm had been leaked to them. These documents, dubbed the "Panama Papers", reveal how clients hid billions of dollars in tax havens.[33] Comprising documents dating from the 1970s to the present, the 2.6 terabytes of data was given to SZ in 2015 by an anonymous source. Because of the amount of data, SZ enlisted the help of the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).[34][35][36]
The firm says that this coverage has "misrepresented" their work.[37] In its full statement[38] the company asserts that it conducts due diligence on potential clients, "routinely denying services" to those who are "compromised", and "routinely resigns from client engagements" when ongoing due diligence and/or updates to sanctions lists reveal problems. In addition, however, the company has said that responsibility for potential legal violations may lie with failures or lapses by other institutions given that:
approximately 90% of our clientele is comprised of professional clients, such as international financial institutions as well as trust companies and prominent law and accounting firms, who act as intermediaries and are regulated in the jurisdiction of their business. These clients are obliged to perform due diligence on their clients in accordance with the KYC and AML [ Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering respectively ] regulations to which they are subject.
The company informed clients on 3 April 2016, that files had been obtained through a hack of the company's email server.[39] Forbes has suggested that the firm's information security was poor, running old versions of key tools,[40] and still other vulnerabilities have since been discovered.[41]
Shortly after the leak, Panamanian, Peruvian, and Salvadorian police raided the local offices of Mossack Fonseca.[42]
