The Spain’s industry minister has resigned over allegations he had links to offshore companies by the panama papers.
Jose Manuel Soria said he had tendered his resignation “in light of the succession of mistakes committed along the past few days, relating to my explanations over my business activities and considering the obvious harm that this situation is doing to the Spanish government.”
Soria’s troubles began on Monday when Spanish online daily El Confidencial, which has had access to the Panama Papers where millions of files leaked from law firm Mossack Fonseca said he was an administrator of an offshore firm in 1992.
Soria called a news conference to deny any link to the company, but as the week went by, more allegations emerged from other media outlets, revealing further alleged connections to offshore havens.
It is unclear as yet whether any of his alleged actions were illegal.
Iceland’s Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson was also forced to resign over the leaks some weeks ago.
The Senate president, Bukola Saraki, who is also facing charges bordering on false asset declaration at the Code of Conduct tribunal is also named having offshore assets in the Panama papers leak.

Even if nigerian politicians are linked to the Panama papers saga, they will just choose to die in office.

In Nigeria when politicians refused to resign, the very oppressed masses from that part of Nigeria that did not vote for PMB will admonish them to stay put. The Senate has hurriedly started amending laws that fight corruption instead of removing their corrupt leader.
