Defense files pressure complaint in Panama probe
Tuesday 28 March, 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.
