It has become a huge controversy lately when the latest
scandal involving more powerful people reared its. The raging scandal that is
simply known as The Panama Papers are a leaked set of 11.5 million confidential
documents that provide detailed information about more than 214,000 offshore
companies listed by the Panamanian corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca,
including the identities of shareholders and directors of the companies. The
documents show how wealthy individuals, including public officials, hid their
assets from public scrutiny. At the time of publication, the papers identified
five then-heads of state or government leaders from 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 forty other countries. The British Virgin Islands was home to half of the
companies exposed and Hong Kong contained the most affiliated banks, law firms
and middlemen.[1]
While the use of offshore business entities is not
illegal in the jurisdictions in which they are registered, during their
investigation reporters found that some of the shell companies may have been
used for illegal purposes, including fraud, drug trafficking, and tax evasion
