One of the founders of the law firm at the center of the explosive “Panama Papers” revelations on off-shore holdings said his company was hacked by servers abroad.
Ramon Fonseca said the firm Mossack Fonseca had lodged a criminal complaint with Panamanian prosecutors on Monday over the breach.
Ramon Fonseca added that in all the reporting so far “nobody is talking of the hack, and that is the only crime that has been committed.”
In a telephone message responding to questions, Fonseca said: “We have lodged a complaint. We have a technical report that we were hacked by servers abroad.”
He did not specify from which country the hack was carried out.
