 A court in Panama has acquitted all 28 people charged with money laundering in connection with the Panama Papers scandal, concluding a trial that began in April. Among those exonerated were Jürgen Mossack and the now deceased Ramon Fonseca, founders of the defunct law firm Mossack Fonseca, at the centre of the scandal. The case first came to light in 2016 after a vast trove of 11 million documents was leaked to a German newspaper and shared with an international team of journalists.
