Stories from today's national press

The Times of Malta

The recently published Panama Papers show that one Leticia Montoya Moran, working for the Mossack Fonseca firm whose data was leaked, was a shareholder in some 10,000 shell companies it registered, including that owned by energy minister Konrad Mizzi. Other shell companies include ones used to help country leaders funnel kickbacks and state funds into private accounts.
