Denmark is buying tax data.
It now plans to investigate whether 500-600 Danes who feature in the offshore archive may have evaded tax.
Denmark’s tax minister said he will pay up to DKK 9 million (EUR 1,2 million) to buy leaked data from the Panamaniam law firm Mossack Fonseca.
He said an anonymous source approached the Danish government over the 2016 summer.
The source sent over an initial sample of documents and the
government reviewed them. After concluding they were genuine, it
secretly negotiated support for the controversial deal from political
parties in parliament, the minister said.
