Panama City
POLICE on Tuesday raided the headquarters of the Panama law firm whose leaked documents have unleashed a global scandal over how the world's elite use offshore companies to hide their wealth. Organised crime police surrounded Mossack Fonseca's headquarters in Panama City as the offices were being searched, along with several other branches.
Prosecutors said the raids had taken place "with no incident or interference", but gave no details on the results of the searches.
