WESTON PLANNING COMMISSION, SP0HPR- ULDO+DOO(0DLQ6W East Oregonian EU threatens to put sanctions on Panama, other tax havens By FRANK JORDANS AND RAF CASERT Associated Press BERLIN — A European Union of¿cial threatened Thursday to sanction Panama and other nations if they don’t cooperate fully to ¿ght money laundering and tax evasion, after a leak of data showed the small country remains a key destination for people who want to hide money. The 11.5 million documents from the Pana- ma-based law ¿rm Mossack Fonseca showed it helped thousands of individuals and companies from around the world set up shell companies and offshore accounts in low-tax havens. Because such accounts often hide the ultimate owner of assets, they are a favored tool to evade taxes, launder money or pay bribes. So far, the scandal has brought down the leader of Iceland and raised questions about the dealings of the presidents of Argentina and Ukraine, senior Chinese politicians, famous actors, athletes and the circle of friends of Russian Vladimir Putin, who some allege has pro¿ted indirectly from such accounts. On Thursday, British Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged he pro¿ted from his father’s investments in an offshore tax haven before being elected. “People are fed up with these outrages,” said Pierre Moscovici, who heads ¿nan- cial affairs for the 28-nation EU. He took to task countries like Panama that facilitate such secretive, low-tax accounts. “The amounts of money, the jurisdictions and the names associated with this affair are frankly shocking,” he said. Panama is listed by the EU as a country that is not cooperative on tax issues, and Moscovici urged the country to “rethink its position in this regard.” The EU has to “be ready to hit them with appro- priate sanctions if they refuse AP Photo/Arnulfo Franco Partner of the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca, Ramon Fonseca sits in his office in during an interview in Panama City, Thursday. Argentine prosecutor wants president probed in Panama leaks BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — An Argentine prosecutor on Thursday asked for an investigation into President Mauricio Macri’s role in offshore companies, adding to the global fallout from a massive leak of documents from a Panama law ¿rm. Federal prosecutor Federico Delgado made the request to Judge Sebastian Casanello, according to a court document obtained by The Associated Press. Under Argentine law, such a request is the precursor to charges, which must be decided on by a judge. Delgado argued that an investigation is necessary to see whether Macri “maliciously” omitted his role in two offshore companies in his annual tax declarations. Macri’s press of¿ce did not immediately return requests for comment. Macri, a conservative who ran for of¿ce last year on promises to crack down on corruption, has repeatedly said they were family businesses and he was a ¿gurehead who received no compensation. The former mayor of Buenos Aires is son of Italian-born tycoon Francisco Macri, who is one of the country’s richest people. to change,” he said. The Central American country’s government is offering to cooperate more. On Wednesday, President Juan Carlos Varela announced the creation of an international committee of experts to recommend ways to boost transparency in Panama’s offshore ¿nancial industry. But Varela defended his country against what he called a “media attack” by wealthy nations that he says are ignoring their own de¿ciencies and unfairly stigmatizing Panama.

He said the biggest source of secretive shell companies is Europe and the U.S. “If a company in England has problems nobody says anything against England, but when it happens to a ¿rm in Panama it’s a big problem and the entire world beats up on poor Panama,” Fonseca told The Associated Press in an interview. He said his ¿rm creates about 20,000 shell compa- nies annually but also rejects about 70 to 80 clients every year due to conÀicts that crop up during due diligence. “We’re not perfect and some surely escape by,” he said. “But in all our years in business we’ve never been accused or condemned by a court.” Europe also is home to countries with a record of acting like tax havens and providing banking secrecy — Luxembourg, Switzer- land, Andorra, among others. The United States has also become a haven, with several states including Wyoming and Delaware now popular places to open anonymous accounts that are cheap to maintain and pay little or no local tax. Since the ¿rst reports based on Mossack Fonseca documents were published Sunday, prominent politi- cians, celebrities and busi- nesspeople have had their offshore business dealings dragged into the spotlight. On Thursday, the German newspaper that ¿rst obtained what have been dubbed the “Panama Papers,” said it won’t publish all the ¿les, arguing that not all are of public interest. Sueddeutsche Zeitung received the documents from an unidenti¿ed source more than a year ago and shared at least parts of them with dozens of other media outlets around the world. Fonseca said his ¿rm has hired forensic experts to investigate and have already uncovered the method used to penetrate its systems. He said the hack was probably carried out from Europe and dismissed speculation it may have been an inside job. Sueddeutsche Zeitung and the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which helped coordinate reporting on the leak, have said they won’t make the complete set of 11.5 million documents available to the public or law enforcement but rather mine the infor- mation for details of public interest.
