"The role of lawyers, accountants and bankers in Panama Papers" - Part II
Following the kick-off meeting on 24 January in which Members discussed about the respective roles of the three professions (lawyers, bankers and accountants) with the Brussels based professional representatives and independent experts, the PANA Inquiry Committee organises a follow-up hearing on 9 February in which invitees and members will zoom in on the Scandinavian and German practice in order to see if lessons can be drawn from there.
Following introductions by journalists who researched cases in Germany and Scandinavian countries, German and Swedish bankers, lawyers and other experts will share their views on what could be improved and what, in their views, needs to be done to avoid the setting-up of offshore schemes for tax evasion of money laundering purposes in the future.
