BBC again shows its anti Russian/Putin agenda.
The following article dealing with the "Panama Papers" is loaded with Putin/Russia but indicates zilch about their man in Ukraine, Poroshenko.

Again from The Economist (I don't own shares - it is one of the last remaining reliable sources). It seems many top gov. officials from around the globe involved. As Putin plays himself loudly and proudly in the media, he should not be surprised when he receives the lion's share of blowback. The reckoning is coming for all of them, however.

Putin's the ruler of the Russian empire and the second richest man in the world (celebritynetworth.com). He perceives the blowback as recognition of his power. What's this reckoning that's coming and who are all of them?

From the article:
The journalists who have been combing through the trove allege that around 140 political figures, including Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, have links to the holders of the offshore accounts through family members, friends or associates. More revelations are expected this week. The furore will only grow.
The gov. of Luxembourg is also implicated.
The consequences will vary by individual and gov. There are calls for the Prime Minister of Iceland to resign, Putin and Xi are unaccountable to their citizens, so their consequences may be limited to declining status in the court of world opinion and whatever effect that may have on future business or negotiations.
We'll see how it goes as more information/names/details are released.

Well, well, your "one of the last remaining reliable source" is running PR for David Cameron while neglecting to mention his father.

Check the second paragraph of their April 4:

"140 political figures, includingRusia's president, Vladimir Putin, and Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, have links to holders of the off shore accounts through family members, friends or associates."
So the British The Economist leaves out the British prime minister's family connection - his father.
Now check the heavy advertisement for David Cameron in the second to last paragraph.
One should expect more sophistication from the so called "respected" The Economist.

It's still better than Pravda or Russia Today.
