The court’s decision to dismiss evidence obtained from Mossack Fonseca’s servers on grounds of “due process” is a masterstroke of legal gymnastics. It’s as if the smoking gun in a murder case were deemed inadmissible because the detective forgot to say “please” when collecting it.
Shameless. And despite the evidence being known to exist, that “due process” will never happen when so many current and former heads of state are on the defendant list.
World leaders and politicians:
David Cameron: Former British Prime Minister
Volodymyr Zelensky: Current President of Ukraine
Mauricio Macri: Former President of Argentina
Iceland’s Prime Minister (unnamed in the search results, but known to be Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson), who resigned due to the scandal
Celebrities and sports figures:
Lionel Messi: Argentine football icon
Pedro Almodovar: Spanish filmmaker
Business figures:
Aliko Dangote: Africa’s richest man
As we watch these 28 defendants walk free, let us not forget the true victims of this charade: the countless millions who bear the burden of a system rigged against them.
