Panama Papers: huge tax leak exposes Putin aides, world leaders

firm that created offshore corporations that helped world leaders hide assets,

but MOSSACK FONSECA was already well known

to investigators and prosecutors around the world. 

The Panama City firm,

created in the 1980s through a merger

of the law practices of German-born

Jurgen Mossack and Panamanian lawyer Ramon Fonseca,

has long been in the middle of investigations

into money-laundering, corruption and government graft.
