Head Of Transparent Chile Resigns Over Panama Papers - Guardian by shaddoww: 7:24am On Apr 06, 2016 |
The head of one of Chile’s leading anti-
corruption watchdogs has resigned
after his name appeared in the so-
called Panama Papers, a massive leak
of secret offshore financial dealings.
Gonzalo Delaveau, the president of
Transparent Chile — the local branch
of anti-graft group Transparency
International — submitted his
resignation Monday after he was
named as a director or representative
of at least five companies registered in
the Bahamas.
The information emerged in the leak
of millions of documents from
Panamanian law firm Mossack
Fonseca that has put a host of world
leaders, celebrities and other
prominent figures in the hot seat over
their secret financial dealings.
Delaveau, a lawyer who was acting as
interim head of Transparent Chile, had
been due to step down in a week.
“Given that I have one week
remaining, given that I can’t even
continue as director, the damage that
has been done to the institution, I
believe it’s best to step aside,” he told
CNN Chile.
Besides his role at Transparent Chile,
Delaveau is also a director at Andes
Copper, a Canadian mining company.
The offshore firms linked to Delaveau
are among some 200 suspected shell
companies tied to Chileans including
prominent executives, sports stars and
a former finance minister, according
to investigative journalism group
CIPER.
The group is one of the more than 100
media organizations worldwide
wading through the trove of 11.5
million leaked documents along with
the International Consortium of
Investigative Journalists. m.guardian.ng/news/head-of-transparent-chile-resigns-over-panama-papers/ |
