Relatives of members of the Chinese Communist Party’s past and current top leadership have been named in leaked documents known as the Panama Papers. More than 11-million confidential documents were taken from the law business Mossack Fonseca in Panama. The documents were then given to a group of reporters. The documents show information about more than 214,000 offshore companies. They include the identities of shareholders and directors of the companies. The documents show how rich individuals, public officials and their families placed money into businesses hidden from the public. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists released the documents. Family members of at least seven current or former members of the Chinese Communist Party’s Politburo Standing Committee have been named in the documents. No one has been accused of any wrongdoing. Family members of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Peng were also named.
