Panama Papers trial begins with denials eight years after historic tax evasion exposé
Twenty-seven people face money laundering charges in the long-delayed hearing at a courtroom in Panama’s Gil Ponce Palace of Justice.
Eight years after the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and more than 100 media partners worldwide broke the first Panama Papers revelations, a landmark money laundering trial stemming from it has commenced in a Panamanian criminal court.
Twenty-seven people are being tried, including Jürgen Mossack and Ramón Fonseca Mora, the founders of the now-shuttered local law firm at the center of the scandal.
The 2016 Panama Papers investigation remains one of the largest cross-border journalistic collaborations in history and has become shorthand for financial chicanery and political corruption in the public imagination.

The secretive networks used to move money offshore

Kejriwal said the network behavior demonstrates that those involved in the Panama Papers network of offshore entities and transactions were very sophisticated, knowing exactly how to move money around in a way that it becomes untraceable and they are not vulnerable through their connections to others in the system. Because it is a global network, there are few options for national or international bodies to intervene in order to recoup taxes and investigate corruption and money laundering.

“I don’t know how anyone would try to bring this down, and I’m not sure that they would be able to. The system seems unattackable,” Kejriwal said.
