Panama Papers

[Magda Hassan]

I've been having a bit of a look at the company Mossack Fonesca. It is a partnership between 2 lawyers. Jurgen Mossack's father was in the SS and Wikipeadia is very vague but says he ended up working for the US as a spy against Cuba and ended up in Panama. Has Paperclip type ratline written all over it.

More here from the ICIJ:

Mossack was born in Germany in 1948. He moved to Panama with his family in the early 1960s, according to his law partner.
Mossack's father had been a member of the Waffen-SS, the notorious armed wing of the Nazi Party during World War II, according to U.S. Army intelligence files obtained by ICIJ.
After the war the father offered his services to the U.S. government as an informant, the files show, claiming "he was about to join a clandestine organization, either of former Nazis now turned Communist . . . or of unconverted Nazis cloaking themselves as Communists." An Army intelligence officer wrote that the offer to spy for the U.S. might simply be "a shrewd attempt to get out of an awkward situation."
Nevertheless, the old intelligence files indicate that Mossack's father later ended up in Panama, where he offered to spy, this time for the CIA, on Communist activity in nearby Cuba.
After earning a law degree in Panama in 1973, the son worked for a time as a lawyer in London before returning to Panama to start the firm that he would later merge to form Mossack Fonseca & Co.

Oh boy, this could also have a connection to the Bormann Brotherhood and their investing of Nazi loot throughout the world. Maybe. Perhaps.

Fonesca is not a Spanish family name either. Both these boys may have been born in Panama but their family are European. I am thinking Fonesca might be Romanian but not sure.
