We have a new leak - this time the biggest leak ever according to Snowden. Surprisingly the world's leaders have been stashing away billions of pounds in dodgy offshore tax havens. So, who did what? Icelandic Prime Minister, Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson has been accused of hiding millions of dollars worth of investments in banks behind the guise of a secretive offshore company. He did not declare an interest in the company upon entering parliament in 2009; The PM has had to resign. According to the Guardian, six current members of the House of Lords, three former Conservative MPs as well as "dozens" of donors to UK political parties are among those who have offshore assets. Reports also confirm that stockbroker and multimillionaire Ian Cameron, David Cameron's late father was in fact a client of Mossack Fonseca, of the leak.. Transparency International, a non- governmental organisation which focuses on and makes public corporate political corruption has begun probing Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The Panama Papers have confirmed that the Sharif family controls an extensive portfolio in land and property, ranging from places in Pakistan to several locations in London's Mayfair district and the Prime Minister is already being called on to quit. Russian President Vladimir Putin, whilst not directly named in the documents, has still been accused of playing a part in a billion dollar-dollar money-laundering ring controlled by a Russian bank which has links to him. It has also been reported that there will be more leaks to come in the next couple of days and it could take weeks to get the complete reports. The law firm at the heart of this, Mossack Fonseca, claims that it's all legal but it looks like the reprecussions of the leak are being felt already. The people of the world voted for these politicians so we only have ourselves to blame... don't we? 2016 / ISSUE 86 5 David Skinner came through with the pars in parliament this week after calling the Prime Minister 'Dodgy Dave' and refusing to withdraw his comment .
