The documents named individuals and entities from over XXX countries, including Qatar and figures connected to the European Union (EU) and Germany. Below is an overview of the connections to Qatar, the EU, and Germany based on available information. ### Qatar and the Panama Papers - Prominent Figures Named: The former Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, was linked to offshore entities. He owned Afrodille S.A., which held a bank account in Luxembourg and shares in two South African companies. Additionally, he held a majority of shares in Rienne S.A. and Yalis S.A., which had a term deposit with the Bank of China in Luxembourg. Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, Qatar’s former prime minister and foreign minister, owned XX% of these entities. - Bahamas Connection: In the subsequent Paradise Papers (2017), Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani was named as a director, secretary, or president of Bahamian companies, indicating a pattern of offshore financial activities. - Context and Legality: The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) emphasized that offshore entities can have legitimate uses, and inclusion in the Panama Papers does not inherently imply illegal conduct. However, the Qatari royal family’s use of these structures raised questions about transparency and potential tax avoidance. ### EU and the Panama Papers - Scale of Involvement: The Panama Papers implicated numerous EU figures, including politicians, their families, and business associates. The leak revealed how offshore companies were used to hide wealth, often leading to tax evasion or money laundering. The European Commissioner for Taxation, Pierre Moscovici, called the tax avoidance uncovered “unethical,” estimating that such practices cost the EU €1 trillion annually in lost public finances. - Notable Cases: - Spain: Individuals like Micaela Domecq Solís-Beaumont, wife of EU Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete, were linked to Rinconda Investments Group, a Panama-based company. Her family’s bull-breeding business, which benefited from EU agricultural subsidies, raised conflict-of-interest concerns, though Cañete’s office denied any wrongdoing. - Italy: Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, already convicted of tax evasion, was named in the papers, along with other Italian entrepreneurs like Luca Cordero di Montezemolo and Flavio Briatore. Italy’s authorities launched investigations into XXX Italians mentioned. - Greece: Stavros Papastavrou, a key political figure, was linked to a $XXX million undeclared HSBC Swiss account and paid a $XXX million fine to settle tax evasion and money laundering charges. - Malta: A minister in Prime Minister Joseph Muscat’s government, Konrad Mizzi, and Muscat’s chief of staff, Keith Schembri, were linked to Panama shell companies. Mizzi stated the company would be closed post-investigation. - UK: Ian Cameron, father of former Prime Minister David Cameron, was tied to Blairmore Holdings, a Bahamas-based fund that avoided UK taxes. - EU Response: The Panama Papers spurred the EU to push for stricter tax regulations. EU finance ministers endorsed measures to combat tax evasion, and the European Commission had been tightening rules since the 2014 Luxembourg Leaks. However, critics, including Action Aid, argued that the EU’s response remained inadequate years later. - Blacklist and Greylist: The EU considered blacklisting countries like Panama for inadequate tax transparency and greylisting others like Bahrain and the UAE. In 2018, Panama was briefly removed from the blacklist after committing to reforms.
