Panama Papers case opens with 27 accused of money laundering
Juergen Mossack, partner of the law firm Mossack-Fonseca, leaves the Supreme Court during the trial of the "Panama Papers" money laundering case in Panama City, April 8, 2024

THE trial of 27 people charged in connection with the worldwide “Panama Papers” money-laundering operation started on Monday in a Panamanian criminal court.

Those on trial include the owners of Mossack-Fonseca, a law firm at the heart of the massive document leak in 2016.

The Panama Papers include a collection of 11 million secret financial documents that illustrate how some of the world’s richest people hide their money.
