Sri Lankans In Panama Papers: Full List
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has published the list of Sri Lankans named in the Panama Papers a short while ago.
The Panama Papers the largest ever release of secret offshore companies and the people behind them. The Panama Papers are an unprecedented leak of 11.5m files from the database of the world’s fourth biggest offshore law firm, Mossack Fonseca. The records were obtained from an anonymous source by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, which shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). The database does not disclose the totality of the leaked records. It doesn’t divulge raw documents or personal information en masse. It contains a great deal of information about company owners, proxies and intermediaries in secrecy jurisdictions, but it doesn’t disclose bank accounts, email exchanges and financial transactions contained in the documents.

When this list came out, some of the government ministers were twisting the words to suggest Rajapakhas names were on the list. Obviously they are not on the list. Therefore the public can start assuming – given that a considerable time has been passed since 8th of January 2015 and after much investigations and useless soundbites to the media, since no evidence against any of the Rajapakshas is produced before a court,- it was all fabricated stories dished out to the gullible Srilankan public to mislead them and get their votes to grab the power, but nothing else.
