This is widespread corruption on a global scale. 12 head of states are involved, ranging from Iceland's PM to China's president. Celebrities ranging from Jackie Chan to Messi. Corporations all over the world, and obviously thousands of banks (Norway's largest bank DNB is already out on their knees, begging for mercy) etc. This will be massive.

Of course suspicion has been plenty for a long time, no one is suprised that a lot of multi national companies and rich people have been avoiding taxes by creative tax structures (or that Putin or the house of Saudi is corrupt), but now there is proof, which changes a lot. I can't wait to see the aftermath of this.

I did find it funny that Russia Today completely neglected mentioning Putin in all of this though. Must have taken some time photoshopping him out of those stats and pictures.

A lot of corporate bosses, politicians and bankers are sweating bullets right now. It also got to be scary for everyone at Mossack Fonseca right now (the law firm whose papers got leaked).
They will probably be held responsible by a lot of these very powerful people whose name have gotten leaked. Persons have gone missing at the hand of Putin, Xi Jiping etc. for a lot less than this.

Edit:
Lol, one of our largest banks, Nordea, is apparently among the names, and they have gone into denial mode. This is so exciting.

Ye, as always nothing is going to come of such revelations. Most Russians will just claim this is a conspiracy by the West and thus not care or pay any further attention.
 
From your own article:

Though the president’s name does not appear in any of the records, the data reveals a pattern – his friends have earned millions from deals that seemingly could not have been secured without his patronage.

Name a high ranking politician that doesn't have a circle of wealthy friends. Don't put sensationalist thread title.

It's not surprising as RT is state-run media. Which is why I always laugh when Shertards post an anti-West article from it as if it's worth anything. It'd be like citing VOA--which I've never seen anyone do here.

I'm well aware of the corrupt nature of RT (nothing is inherently wrong with tax funded media though, in most of western Europe it's actually well above in standards of most other media in a given country), which is why I wanted to see how they handled this leak.

There are very few posters on this site who show any integrity in the media/sources they cite. I don't think RT is any worse than The Daily Mail (which I believe is the most cited newspaper in the WR).

Panama Papers: Mossack Fonseca leak reveals elite's tax havens

A huge leak of confidential documents has revealed how the rich and powerful use tax havens to hide their wealth.

Eleven million documents were leaked from one of the world's most secretive companies, Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.

They show how Mossack Fonseca has helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions and evade tax.

The company says it has operated beyond reproach for 40 years and has never been charged with criminal wrong-doing.

The documents show links to 72 current or former heads of state in the data, including dictators accused of looting their own countries.

Gerard Ryle, director of the ICIJ, said the documents covered the day-to-day business at Mossack Fonseca over the past 40 years.

"I think the leak will prove to be probably the biggest blow the offshore world has ever taken because of the extent of the documents," he said.

The data contains secret offshore companies linked to the families and associates of Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak, Libya's former leader Muammar Gaddafi and Syria's president Bashar al-Assad.

Panama Papers - tax havens of the rich and powerful exposed
  • Eleven million documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca have been passed to German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung, which then shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. BBC Panorama is among 107 media organisations - including UK newspaper the Guardian - in 78 countries which have been analysing the documents. The BBC doesn't know the identity of the source
  • They show how the company has helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions and evade tax
  • Mossack Fonseca says it has operated beyond reproach for 40 years and never been accused or charged with criminal wrong-doing

This is corruption on a grand scale. Whoever leaked this is probably going to never be found.

I hope there is more than one son of a bitch from Spain in those documents. Not that is going to matter at all, just out of curiosity.
 
Watch this to understand the depth of the corruption.
