ICIJ Q & A: Should I assume that the people and companies mentioned in the database are involved in tax avoidance or evasion? No. There are legitimate reasons to use offshore companies and trusts. ICIJ does not intend to suggest or imply that the people and companies included in the database have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly.

The Offshore Leaks Database begins to strip away the secrecy of the offshore system by partially opening the company registries of 10 offshore jurisdictions. Opening up the records serves the public interest by bringing accountability to an industry that has long operated in the shadows. Fijileaks is still waiting for comments from those listed below

A crook doesnt have to deposit his money in tax free haven. He can deposit it in a normal bank with registration in Dubai or Malaysia or any country which does not have reciprocal financial information sharing agreement with Fiji. Fiji's money laundering unit is controlled by Kai-boy. A crook can also buy properties in any western country in the name of his relatives there. Or buy shares in companies or stock exchange. So many ways to hide their money overseas.

Too right. All the African, Latin American and Asisn dictators have bought opulent mansions with their ill-gotten wealth in Western countries while their own people languish in poverty and misery.
And, remember the top dogs in the domestic banks often rub shoulders with the corrupt political and economic elite and do the same cocktail circuit . They often are only too happy to act as conduits for their corrupt elitist mates to ingratiate themselves.
That's why corruption has become so entrenched and pervasive and international.

Squeaky Clean…? Certainly Not!

This world’s most pitiable IP Thieves –Bainimarama and Khaiyum - are worthy of a mention in Guinness Book of Records as the only IP Thieves in the entire planet, in the wholeness of its political history, to have shamelessly STOLEN another political party’s good name! How bizarre? But like they say: ‘if one can steal an egg one would steal the hen’. A Chor is a Chor.

Trawling the Panama Files, Victor, must be an enormous task. Patience is a virtue in this game. Just trawl along…who knows what floats up…! And Thank You for enlightening us.

Remember Najib Razak is very dirty, very corrupt but he is still the Prime Minister of Malaysia just to cite one example for illustration.

The regime is never squeaky clean when you have a scheming dictatorship that is tightlipped on public accounts and audit reports.

And thats why its a no-brainer that the dark secrets of Bhaiyum will eventually reveal itself in due time leaving the two linchpins themselves answerable for it.
