MAN 2: One of the thing is we
found is not only did Mossack Fonseca have a number of Chinese
companies that it registered in Nevada as shell
companies, some of those, perhaps, to do business
in the United States, but more likely than not, to
hide assets somewhere else. MAN 3: Brazil was one of
the, the hottest things, and having been a
correspondent there myself, I was very interested in
working with the Brazilian team. TIM: We found
payoffs to politicians. More than $700 million
in bribes had been paid. MAN 4: Two-thirds of the
country's legislature had been tied to off-shore companies. Many of the politicians were
using shell companies through Mossack Fonseca in Nevada to
hide assets they owned back in, in Brazil. Nobody pays a
bribe and says, hey, here's a bribe. They do it through
consulting fees, they do it through
structured investments, and they do it through shell
companies that pay other shell companies
