Putin is not mentioned in the Panama docs. Russians are but not Putin.
The media makes much of the Russians named being associates of Putin, a ‘guilt by association’ drips from their reporting.
I noticed this hyped up big-time by US and Brit press....special graphics with Putin inserted. So far....not a single dime of Putin’s money in this episode.
One business guy interviewed via German news noted that there’s nothing illegal in doing any of this business, unless you avoided reporting income from these offshore accounts.
What amazes me is that there are 11 million documents in this batch....in varying languages. Even if I had a hundred CIA analysts working full-time for two years...I doubt if we’d be able to cover more than a quarter of the documentation. These journalists involved? Maybe two or three hundred man-hours that they’ve probably put into this effort?
