/ world today news/ White House press secretary Josh Earnest refused to give a specific comment to the American presidential institution about the so-called “Panama Papers”.
“I have no comment on the specific credibility of these documents. I am not aware of any changes in our policy or the creation of a special body as a result of these publications,” Ernest said, quoted by TASS.
According to him, the USA continues to support the increase in transparency of the international financial system and the fight against corruption.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, based in Washington, yesterday released the results of nearly a year of work on more than 11 million leaked documents of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which offers legal assistance in setting up companies and managing funds in offshore areas.
The testimony exposed the practices of numerous members of the world’s political and social elite to keep their money in countries with tax breaks.
Offshore companies associated with the US are few compared to those in the rest of the world. The likely reason for this is that the US system does not particularly tax the wealthiest, compared to other countries.
