Description

La historia detrás de los Panama Papers

Rita Vásquez y J. Scott Bronstein, miembros de la redacción de La Prensa de Panamá, el único periódico de ese país involucrado en la investigación conocida como Panama Papers, nos descubren los entretelones de la famosa operación periodística.

¿Por qué el abogado Jürgen Mossak –hijo de un oficial nazi– intenta disuadir a los directivos de La Prensa de que continúen con la indagación que involucra a su firma con procedimientos financieros ilícitos? ¿De qué manera operaba el bufete para ofrecer sus servicios a clientes que, en ocasiones resultaron ser criminales? ¿Cómo se montó la filtración masiva que llevó a descubrir el entramado? ¿Quiénes estaban interesados en que se dieran a conocer los nombres de cientos de personajes con capitales en paraísos fiscales?

Si, al parecer, había interés en llegar hasta el fondo de la investigación, ¿por qué los autores tuvieron que hacer frente a la pérdida de amistades y relaciones profesionales? ¿Se sintieron amenazados estos periodistas? ¿Por qué Panamá fue señalado desde fuera y desde dentro?

Al estilo de un thriller policiaco, no faltan las desapariciones, sabotajes y amenazas que vivieron funcionarios y periodistas que estuvieron cerca de los clientes de la firma y de las investigaciones. Los autores vieron también peligrar su seguridad.

El caso terminaría enfrentando no sólo a Panamá contra el mundo, sino también a los panameños entre sí, aunque los autores reivindican a lo largo de las páginas a un país, el suyo. Esta es una historia de múltiples sociedades, muchas de ellas sociedades peligrosas.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Rita Vásquez and J. Scott Bronstein, members of the editorial staff of La Prensa de Panamá, the only newspaper in that country involved in the investigation known as The Panama Papers, reveal the secrets of the famous journalistic operation.

Why is lawyer Jürgen Mossak—son of a Nazi official—trying to dissuade the managers of La Prensa from continuing with the investigation that implicates his firm in illicit financial proceedings? How did the lawyer’s office operate to offer their services to clients who on occasion ended up being criminals? How did the massive leak begin that eventually led to the discovery of the scheme? Who was interested in letting the world know the names of hundreds of people with investments in fiscal paradises?

< If, as it seems, there was interest in getting to the bottom of the investigation, why did the authors have to deal with the loss of friendships and professional relationships? Did these journalists feel threatened? Why was Panama tagged from within and from without?

In the style of a crime thriller, there is no lack of disappearances, sabotage, and threats against workers and journalists who were close to the firm’s clients and to the investigations. The authors also saw their security in danger. The case would end up not only pitting Panama against the world, but also Panamanians against each other, although the authors reclaim a country in the end: their own.
