A partner at Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm at the heart of a huge leak of confidential financial data, says it was the victim of a hack.
Ramon Fonseca, co-founder of Mossack Fonseca, said the company has filed a complaint with Panamanian prosecutors alleging that the data was stolen by a hacking attack from abroad.
Fonseca said the leak was not an “inside job” – the company had been hacked by servers based abroad.
Several countries are investigating possible financial wrongdoing by the rich and powerful after the leak of more than 11 million documents. (See p14-15)
