Nigerian public officers named
in the #PanamaPapers leak could face prosecution if the Attorney-General of the
Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice decides to press a case.
This
came as news emerged yesterday that a Swiss attorney, Enrico Monfrini, hired by
the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to track missing
Abacha loot in Swiss banks is himself operating over 178 companies in offshore
tax havens, a massive leak of secret documents belonging to offshore shell
companies has revealed.
The
leak of more than 11 million secret documents from the Panama-based law firm,
Mossack Fonseca, according to an online news portal, TheCable, is causing
ripples globally.
Ethical and criminal questions are being asked about the stashing away of
billions of dollars in tax havens.
Meanwhile, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, Iceland Prime Minister, has resigned over the leaks which exposed his offshore assets.(would this ever happen in Nigeria?)
Nigerians named so far are Senate President Bukola Saraki, his predecessor David Mark (pictured), former minister of defence Theophilus Danjuma, and former governor of Delta state James Ibori.
