Four men have been charged with wire fraud, money laundering, tax evasion and more in the first U.S. indictment stemming from the investigation surrounding the 2016 “Panama Papers” leak. Three of the men have been arrested while Owens, a Panamanian attorney who worked for Mossack Fonseca, remains at large. An attorney for Von Der Goltz told The Associated Press that the indictment is “a desperate attempt to salvage an American case out of the Panama Papers” and said his client will be vindicated at trial. The fallout from the Panama Papers leak was felt around the world. The investigation was based on an analysis of documents that included the Panama Papers.
