FORMER British ambassador Craig Murray accused “corporate media” groups of hiding important information from their coverage of the Panama Papers yesterday.
The one-time ambassador to Uzbekistan suggested that the groups with access to the Mossack Fonseca leak, such as the Guardian and the BBC, would focus their coverage on countries other than Britain.
“They are protecting themselves from even seeing Western corporations’ sensitive information by only looking at those documents which are brought up by specific searches such as UN sanctions busters,” Mr Murray wrote on his blog.
