Tycoon with Close Ties to Belarus Dictator Used Time Travel to Evade Sanctions
A wealthy businessman dodged international sanctions with help from company service providers, including Mossack Fonseca.
Two years after the original Panama Papers leaks, the German daily SĂĽddeutsche Zeitung has received a fresh trove of leaked documents from Mossack Fonseca, the now-defunct Panamanian law firm.
To analyze and report on the new data, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has once again organized a collaborative investigation which includes the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and its partner centers.
The new leak consists of 1.2 million documents which mostly cover the years 2016 and 2017. Thus, they offer an almost first-hand account of the meltdown experienced by Mossack Fonseca in the wake of the unprecedented investigation that brought its practices to light in the first place.
The investigation of these new documents has enabled journalists to tie many loose ends, to uncover even more wrongdoing, and to reveal new twists and turns in what was once a hermetically closed world of offshore dealings.
