Hearings in the money-laundering trial of the heads of the now-defunct law firm Mossack Fonseca, the epicenter of the global 'Panama Papers' scandal, concluded on Friday in the Panamanian capital.

Police vehicles are parked at Deutsche Bank’s headquarters in Frankfurt on November 29, 2018. German prosecutors raided several Deutsche Bank offices in the Frankfurt area on November 29, 2018 over suspicions of money laundering based on revelations from the 2016 “Panama Papers” data leak.

“There has truly been a great injustice committed, not only against me, but against all the people that have worked with me, of whom there are many,” Mossack said at the end of the trial. The pair are also alleged to have “received and transferred funds from illicit activities in Germany and Argentina.”

Icelandic prime minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson was forced to resign after it was revealed his family had offshore accounts.
