    4 men charged in Panama Papers investigation

    And many more to come, a lot of sealed becoming unsealed.


    NEW YORK (AP) — Federal authorities in New York announced a raft of conspiracy and tax fraud charges Tuesday against four men in the first U.S. prosecution related to the so-called Panama Papers.
    The 11-count indictment unsealed in Manhattan stems from what prosecutors described as an “intercontinental money laundering scheme” involving a global law firm based in Panama.
    Two Germans, one American and one Panamanian citizen were charged with conspiracy and other counts. It was not immediately clear whether they had defense attorneys.

    The Panama Papers include a collection of 11 million secret financial documents that illustrated how some of the world’s richest people hide their money. The records were first leaked to the Suddeutsche Zeitung, a major German newspaper, and were shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which began publishing collaborative reports with news organizations in 2016.
    Federal prosecutors say the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca conspired to circumvent U.S. laws to maintain the wealth of its clients and conceal tax dollars owed to the IRS. They say the scheme dates to 2000 and involved sham foundations and shell companies in Panama, Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands.

    The case load for prosecutors should get big over this.
