Paradise Papers Investigation

Premier David Burt is reported to have said:

“In relation to this data breach, I can confirm that a coordinated police criminal investigation is underway in several jurisdictions including Bermuda and there is the usual cooperation among law enforcement agencies in the jurisdictions under British control which includes the UK National Crime Agency.

Having asked ‘who is undertaking the enquiry on behalf of Bermuda?’ we have yet to receive a response.  We are mindful there are legitimate uses for offshore companies and trusts but we note at least one senior Bermuda Police Officer is named within the database that can be found here: ICIJ.
