Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito has requested judicial cooperation from his counterpart in Panama in the “Panama Papers” case, as reported in Diario Libre.
He is asking for help in identifying companies or individuals among those involved in tax evasion through “offshore” companies. The request was sent through the Specialized Prosecutor for the Persecution of Administrative Corruption (PEPCA) in order to obtain information about the investigation that is underway as a result of the mass release of approximately 11.5 million documents from Panamanian legal firm Mossack Fonseca’s database.
The document release has exposed a series of schemes to evade taxes, operate shady businesses as well as money laundering possibly used by Dominican companies, their shareholders or professional people from several areas.
