TOKYO (AP) — The latest release of the names of thousands of offshore companies and other financial data of the rich and powerful is spurring renewed calls to counter corruption and tax evasion.
Japan's government spokesman said Tuesday that Tokyo plans to propose an action plan for combating graft at the summit of the Group of Seven rich industrial economies that will be held later this month in Ise, Japan.
That follows various moves by other countries to investigate or tighten oversight of such financial dealings following the first release last month of information from what has been dubbed the "Panama Papers."
D.S. Malik, a spokesman for India's finance ministry, said Tuesday that India's income tax authorities have sent notices to all the Indians listed in the searchable database and would investigate each case based on their replies.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists made the fresh data on 200,000 entities available on its website at 1800 GMT (2 p.m. EDT) Monday.
The database contains basic corporate information about companies, trusts and foundations set up in 21 jurisdictions, including Hong Kong and the U.S. state of Nevada. The data was obtained from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which said it was hacked.
Users can search the data and see the networks involving the offshore companies, including, where available, Mossack Fonseca's internal records of the true owners.
The ICIJ said it put the information online "in the public interest," noting that a mention on the list does not imply wrongdoing. The database omits information and documents on bank accounts, phone numbers and emails.
Mossack Fonseca said last week it had sent a cease-and-desist letter to the ICIJ urging the organization not to publish the database, on the grounds it was "based on the theft of confidential information."
Shell companies are often used for legitimate purposes. But they also can be employed to evade taxes or to launder earnings from bribery, embezzlement and other illicit activity. The Group of 20 most powerful economies has agreed that individual governments should make sure authorities can tell who really owns legally registered companies, but implementation in national law has lagged.
The database has revealed how some tiny countries in the South Pacific have been favored as places to set up offshore trusts.
More than 13,000 offshore companies and trusts were set up in Samoa, population 200,000, and nearly 10,000 in Niue, which has a population of just 1,200, it says. Some of the trusts listed are no longer operational.
There are also more than 500 entities listed under the jurisdiction of the Cook Islands, population 10,000, and more than 600 in Singapore, population 5.7 million.
The list for Hong Kong includes 51,295 offshore entities.
The initial release of the data cache, first leaked to Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily, showed offshore holdings of 12 current and former world leaders. Sueddeutsche Zeitung says it was given the information by an anonymous source......................

[Explore ICIJ database of Mossack Fonseca clients and companies]Len Gotshalk, an Atlanta Falcons football player turned Oregon businessman, had a history of legal issues by the time he went looking to buy an offshore company in 2010. Lawsuits and criminal filings had accused the former NFL offensive lineman of fraud and racketeering.
Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-based law firm that specializes in selling offshore companies, initially told Gotshalk that it couldn’t do business with him, because of “negative information” that its researchers had found. Gotshalk persuaded the law firm to reconsider, noting in an email that he had “held offshore accounts in the past in Europe and Bahamas and Belize” without problems.
Three months later — on May 21, 2010 — federal prosecutors in Philadelphia unsealed an indictment charging that Gotshalk was a key player in a scheme that used kickbacks and other tactics to inflate the prices of tech-company stocks.
Three days later — on May 24 — Mossack Fonseca recorded a $3,055 wire transfer from Gotshalk, the firm’s internal records show. The money bought Gotshalk a British Virgin Islands shell company that Mossack Fonseca had set up earlier called Irishmyst Consultants Limited.
Mossack Fonseca and Gotshalk and his attorney did not reply to questions for this report. Mossack Fonseca has previously said that it turns away clients who have been convicted of crimes or involved in other conduct that raises “red flags.”
What are the Panama Papers?

Gotshalk isn’t the only American with legal issues who has used Mossack Fonseca’s services. A review of the law firm’s internal files by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and other media partners has identified offshore companies created by Mossack Fonseca that were tied to at least 36 Americans accused of fraud or other serious financial misconduct.
[Explore ICIJ database of Mossack Fonseca clients and companies]
ICIJ and its media partners found the details of Gotshalk’s offshore company — and other companies linked to Americans accused of financial mischief — within the Panama Papers, a trove of leaked documents that expose the business practices of Mossack Fonseca, one of the world’s largest providers of offshore secrecy.
Some of the Americans have been convicted of fraud or other crimes. They include Martin Frankel, a Connecticut financier who pleaded guilty in 2002 to 20 counts of wire fraud as well as counts of securities fraud and racketeering conspiracy, and Andrew Wiederhorn, an Oregon corporate executive who pleaded guilty to two felonies in a case tied to one of the largest corporate scandals in Oregon history. Frankel could not be reached for comment. Wiederhorn said the offshore company linked to him in the Mossack Fonseca files was used for legitimate overseas real estate investments.
Others have been sued in civil cases launched by securities regulators or private plaintiffs. Among them are six Americans who were accused in a lawsuit in federal court in Washington state of using an offshore company set up through Mossack Fonseca, Dressel Investment Ltd., to run a Ponzi scheme that cost thousands of middle-class Indonesians nearly $100 million. Mossack Fonseca resigned as Dressel’s registered agent after hearing complaints from the investment firm’s angry customers.
Experts on Ponzi schemes and other kinds of financial chicanery say that offshore entities often play a role in fraudulent enterprises. “Fraudsters like offshore because of the lack of transparency,” said Ellen Zimiles, a former federal prosecutor in New York who now leads Navigant Consulting’s investigations and compliance practice. When offshore structures are put together skillfully, “it takes a lot of time for investigators to get the ultimate beneficiary.”
In previous statements, Mossack Fonseca said it has “operated beyond reproach in our home country and in other jurisdictions where we have operations. Our firm has never been accused or charged in connection with criminal wrongdoing.”
The firm said that it works to make sure “that the companies we incorporate are not being used for tax evasion, money-laundering, terrorist finance or other illicit purposes.”
“Our due diligence procedures require us to update the information that we have on clients and to periodically verify that no negative results exist in regards to the companies we incorporate and the individuals behind them,” the firm said.
High volume
It wouldn’t have taken Mossack Fonseca’s compliance team much Internet surfing to determine that former pro football player Len Gotshalk was likely to be a risky client.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Gotshalk in 1994, accusing him and others of providing investors with “false and misleading information” about a company involved in oil and gas investments. In 1995, a federal judge in the District of Columbia issued a permanent injunction forbidding Gotshalk to violate the antifraud provisions of U.S. securities laws.
In 2004, an Oregon court convicted Gotshalk of felony theft and ordered him to pay restitution and serve 20 days in jail in a case involving allegations that he took out large loans with no intention of paying them back. Information about the conviction was available on the Internet in an article posted by the Medford, Ore., Mail Tribune, which cited a police detective who said he’d interviewed a dozen people in multiple states who claimed Gotshalk defrauded them.
There’s no indication in the Panama Papers that Mossack Fonseca took notice of Gotshalk’s more recent legal issues, which include the securities-fraud indictment in Pennsylvania and a lawsuit filed by the SEC.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Gotshalk in the criminal case for May 19. A judge has ordered a document titled “Plea Document as to Leonard Gotshalk” sealed, but other court records don’t indicate whether he has been convicted in the case. The SEC’s lawsuit has been put on hold until the criminal matter is finished.................
