Judge acquits 28 people accused in 'Panama Papers' case, including law firm co-founder

A judge has acquitted 28 people accused of money laundering in an international case known as the Panama Papers, including the co-founder of a law firm that authorities say was at the center of a conspiracy to hide money linked to illegal activities. Jürgen Mossack founded Mossack & Fonseca with then associate Ramón Fonseca, who died in May.

” In addition, the judge lifted personal and property precautionary measures against all the defendants, according to a judicial statement. “We feel satisfied in the midst of mixed emotions, because many lives were affected along the way,” Guillermina Mc Donald, who was the defense attorney for Mossack and Fonseca, told the Associated Press. Her firm also represented 80% of the accused firm’s collaborators.
