Police operation targeting Brazil’s largest criminal organization uncovers Panama Papers link
A police operation in Brazil has uncovered a connection between the Panama Papers and the country's largest criminal organization, Primero Comando da Capital (PCC). Authorities have seized millions in illicit profits and identified a network of companies used to launder money from drug trafficking. The investigation, dubbed 'Operation Downtown,' revealed that Dalton Baptista Neman and his family were involved in these activities through a company registered by the now-defunct Mossack Fonseca. Despite Neman's denial of using the company for money laundering, significant financial transactions were traced back to his family.

Political Storm in Iceland Following the 'Panama Papers'
The Panama Papers have implicated members of the Icelandic government, including Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson, Finance Minister Bjarni Benediktsson, and Interior Minister Ólöf Nordal, for having offshore companies managed by Mossack Fonseca. Gunnlaugsson created Wintris Inc with his wife in the British Virgin Islands and transferred his shares to her before becoming a member of parliament, failing to declare the company. The opposition is considering a motion of no confidence, and protests are being called for Gunnlaugsson's resignation. The scandal highlights potential conflicts of interest, especially since Gunnlaugsson's government benefited creditors like Wintris with its capital control policies.

For Japan, Panama Papers are tool to skewer China
Japan's media has focused on the Panama Papers scandal, highlighting the involvement of Chinese officials rather than Japanese figures. The Asahi Shimbun reported over 400 Japanese individuals and companies in the documents, but no major political leaders. Kyodo News revealed that relatives of Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinping, were linked to shell companies. The Japanese government, led by President Shinzo Abe, is considering addressing offshore tax havens at the upcoming G-7 summit. The leaked files, obtained by Sueddeutsche Zeitung and shared by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, detail over 200,000 offshore entities.

Poroshenko Tied to Airline that May Have Helped Yanukovych Cronies Flee
A secretive VIP jet charter business, Business Airlines, appears closely linked to the business empire of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. The airline, which may have helped officials flee Ukraine during the collapse of Viktor Yanukovych's government, is connected to Poroshenko through a web of offshore corporations and long-time associates. Investigations reveal that Business Airlines and its offshore affiliate, Intraco Management Ltd., have engaged in complex financial maneuvers to hide ownership and reduce taxes. The airline's operations, including flights for top Yanukovych officials and connections to Poroshenko's businesses, raise questions about the extent of Poroshenko's involvement and the potential for illicit activities.

Data leaks have happened again, why they will continue
Data leaks, often facilitated by whistleblowers, have exposed significant government and corporate malpractices, such as those revealed by Wikileaks, the NSA files, and the Panama Papers. These leaks have increased the use of the internet to hold governments accountable and are likely to continue, especially in regions with restricted information access like the Middle East and Pakistan. The rise of anonymous browsing tools and encrypted messaging has empowered citizens to investigate and share information on shady activities, potentially leading to more vigilantism and media involvement in these regions.

Vietnam’s Next Billionaire Piloting VietJet’s Course
VietJet Air, Vietnam's only private airline, has recently signed a $11.3 billion deal with Boeing to purchase 100 aircraft, adding to its previous $3 billion deal with Pratt & Whitney for Airbus engines. The airline, which started in 2011, has capitalized on Vietnam's booming aviation sector and economy, growing at 20% annually with a revenue of $488 million and net income of nearly $50 million last year. Despite operational mishaps and controversial marketing tactics, such as the 'bikini-clad models' stunt, VietJet is expanding rapidly. CEO Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, who is set to become Vietnam's first female billionaire, aims to transform VietJet into the 'Emirates of Asia'. Thao's name appeared in the Panama Papers in connection with Sovico Holdings, but she dismissed concerns over this. The article questions the source of funding for VietJet's recent large-scale purchases.
