Sounds like some group of vested interests is airing the dirty laundry of other select individuals to discredit them. I'm guessing Putin and his cronies are the real targets here, and a few others thrown to the wolves to make it seem impartial.

Cannot understand why they don't just bring all their money to Cambodia . No need to hide it here, you need to flaunt it.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

First casualty of the leaks.
Iceland's Prime Minister Resigns Amid Panama Papers Scandal

Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson resigned Tuesday, days after a massive data leak known as the "Panama Papers" linked him to secret off-shore bank accounts.

With Gunnlaugsson on his way out, his deputy in Iceland's Progressive Party, Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson, will lead the country, according to Godjon Helgason, a reporter at Icelandic National Broadcasting Service (RUV) who spoke to NPR's Newscast unit.

Johannsson, who's currently the fisheries and agriculture minister, "would take over as prime minister until elections [are held] next year — possibly sooner," Helgason tells NPR. He adds that for now at least, there's uncertainty over whether Iceland's president has formally accepted Gunnlaugsson's letter of resignation.

Gunnlaugsson intends to remain the head of Iceland's Progressive Party, FastFT reports.

Earlier Tuesday, Gunnlaugsson had asked Icelandic President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson to call early elections and dissolve the current parliament, the BBC reports, adding that Grimsson refused.

On Sunday, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, along with other international news outlets that collaborated on the story, published a wave of reports about the murky underworld of shell companies and offshore bank accounts. The reporting was based on a massive trove of leaked emails and other documents from a Panamanian law firm.

As we reported yesterday, the data breach purports that Gunnlaugsson and his wife had a stake in a company seeking millions of dollars from failed Icelandic banks. The revelation sparked a public outcry in Iceland.

Thousands of people demanded the prime minister's resignation, as Icelandic radio reporter Haukur Holm told NPR's Renee Montagne on Morning Edition.
