Defense files pressure complaint in Panama probe

Tuesday, March 28, 2017


Lawyers representing one of the alleged  key players in the money laundering investigation of Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca,  have filed a complaint against a trio of anti-corruption  prosecutors  who they claim pressured their client to plead guilty and give evidence against  the firm’s  founding partners.

False statements were allegedly made to Maria Mercedes Riaño, who ran the  Mossack Fonseca operation in Brazil, to declare herself guilty of money laundering in the case.
