Protesters Call for Thorough Investigation of "Panama Papers" Law Firm
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Panama, authorities have raided the offices of the Mossack Fonseca
law firm at the center of the Panama Papers scandal. A massive data leak
revealed the firm set up a global network of shell companies for heads
of state and other elites to store money offshore to avoid taxes and
oversight. Authorities seized 100 computer servers during a 27-hour
raid. Protesters rallied outside the firm to demand a thorough
investigation.

Luis González: "We believe it's important for the attorney general to
actively investigate this act of corruption, this embarrassment, which
was revealed internationally, in which Panama looks very bad at the
moment."
