Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown Jurgen Mossak defendió el derecho a la equivocación. Autor: ABC Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 06:30 pm Socio fundador de Mossak Fonseca declara sobre Panama Papers Jurgen Mossak defendió el derecho a la equivocación por parte de la firma Mossack-Fonseca, mientras autoridades panameñas defienden el trato claro a la información sobre el caso Publicado: Viernes 08 abril 2016 | 09:12:05 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde PANAMÁ, abril 8.— El abogado Jürgen Mossack, socio fundador del bufete legal Mossack-Fonseca, rompió su silencio tras el escándalo mundial que generó la obtención de expedientes de sociedades anónimas creadas por su firma, publicó hoy la prensa local, referida por PL. «No vamos a suspender nuestros servicios para ir a sembrar bananas. La gente comete errores. Nosotros también, así como nuestro Departamento de Cumplimiento. Pero eso no es la regla», dijo Mossack al diario norteamericano The Wall Street Journal. Sara Montenegro, directora de Asuntos Legales de la firma, por su parte, también habló para el periódico norteño y eludió referirse a las graves acusaciones internacionales sobre la supuesta conducta de la firma al vender sociedades presuntamente usadas con fines delictivos y más bien prefirió denunciar la sustracción de documentos de la firma como una violación a la privacidad. La procuradora panameña Kenia Porcell, confirmó a periodistas que a mediados de marzo, esa oficina presentó la denuncia sobre la sustracción de documentos de sus bases de datos, cuya investigación aseguró que está avanzada. Prensa Latina publica hoy detalles de su intercambio con uno de los integrantes del Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas de Investigación (ICIJ, por sus siglas en inglés) quien participa en la investigación Papeles de Panamá, y tiene acceso a los documentos que han provocado el escándalo. -

ARTÍCULOS Estudios sobre el Mensaje Periodístico ISSN-e: 1988-2696 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/ESMP.63736 [en] Digital news start-ups in Spain: symbolic and social capital as drivers of success1 Terese Mendiguren Galdospin2; Irati Agirreazkuenaga Onaindia3; Koldo Meso Ayerdi4 Received: January 17, 2018 / Accepted: June 19, 2018 Abstract. Ongoing downsizing in the media sector has sparked a new start-up culture in the field of journalism. Over the past few years an increasing number of news organizations seeking to leverage social and symbolic rather than financial capital and cultivate employee as well as audience loyalty have entered the market (Wagemans, Witschge and Deuze, 2016). This paper examines El Diario (eldiario.es) and El Confidencial (elconfidencial.com). Qualitative methods involving the on-site observation in their newsrooms and semi-structured interviews with their journalists were employed. Findings indicate that both see themselves as alternative news providers whose emphasis El Diario draws heavily upon the symbolic capital of its founder Ignacio Escolar, El Confidencial, has banked primarily on its social capital. Keywords: Start-up; digital journalism; innovation. Startups digitales en España: el capital simbólico y social como factor de éxito Resumen. La crisis en el sector de los medios de comunicación ha propiciado la emergencia de nuevos modelos periodísticos. En los últimos años ha surgido en el sistema mediático un número cada vez mayor de proyectos que buscan aprovechar el capital social y simbólico, y cultivar la lealtad tanto de los empleados como de la audiencia (Wagemans, Witschge y Deuze, 2016). Este artículo analiza El Diario (eldiario.es) y El Confidencial (elconfidencial.com). -

PANAMA Presidential and Legislative Elections
Report May 2019 PANAMA Presidential and legislative elections Post-election report Political Analysis Regulatory Information Service EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The presidential and legislative elections of the Republic of Panama took place May 5. Laurentino Cortizo (Revolutionary Democratic Party) is emerging as winner with 33.18% of the vote, versus 31.04% so far for Rómulo Roux (Democratic Change). If the trend continues as the remaining votes are counted, Cortizo is set to become President of Panama for the 2019-2024. DL4AMERICAS.ORG The elections took place amid widespread public disapproval of the government of Juan Carlos Varela, who is seen as having been too preoccupied with infrastructure projects to the detriment of social policies to tackle inequality. Against this backdrop, citizens were drawn to the presidential candidate that was most committed to narrowing the wealth gap across the country. DIRECTORIOLEGISLATIVO.ORG What was the vote for? On Sunday, May 5, presidential and legislative elections were held in Panama to elect the President of the Republic, two Vice Presidents and 71 Deputies for the 2019-2024 term. Electoral calendar The Political Constitution of the Republic of Panama dictates that the President should hold office for five years (Sec. 142). According to the Panamanian Electoral Code, elections shall be held "on the first Sunday of May in the year in which they are to be held" (Sec. 286). This year's vote was held Sunday, May 5. Will there be a second round? In line with the Constitution, the President is elected by majority and direct vote (Sec. 172). Therefore, there is no second round of elections for the presidential elections of the Republic of Panama. -
Following the Money: Lessons from the Panama Papers Part 1
ARTICLE 3.4 - TRAUTMAN (DO NOT DELETE) 5/14/2017 6:57 AM Following the Money: Lessons from the Panama Papers Part 1: Tip of the Iceberg Lawrence J. Trautman* ABSTRACT Widely known as the “Panama Papers,” the world’s largest whistleblower case to date consists of 11.5 million documents and involves a year-long effort by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists to expose a global pattern of crime and corruption where millions of documents capture heads of state, criminals, and celebrities using secret hideaways in tax havens. Involving the scrutiny of over 400 journalists worldwide, these documents reveal the offshore holdings of at least hundreds of politicians and public officials in over 200 countries. Since these disclosures became public, national security implications already include abrupt regime change and probable future political instability. It appears likely that important revelations obtained from these data will continue to be forthcoming for years to come. Presented here is Part 1 of what may ultimately constitute numerous- installment coverage of this important inquiry into the illicit wealth derived from bribery, corruption, and tax evasion. This article proceeds as follows. First, disclosures regarding the treasure trove of documents * BA, The American University; MBA, The George Washington University; JD, Oklahoma City Univ.

Papeles De Panamá'
DIRECTO Últimas noticias sobre el referéndum de independencia en Catalunya Casi 2.000 españoles, en los 'Papeles de Panamá' Entre los 11 millones de documentos filtrados aparecen 1.200 sociedades, 558 accionistas, 166 clientes intermediarios y 89 beneficiarios con sede postal en España Lunes, 04/04/2016 | Actualizado el 05/04/2016 a las 16:52 CEST La infanta Pilar de Borbón. / JUAN MANUEL PRATS La filtración de documentos del bufete de abogados Mossack Fonseca, conocida como 'Los Papeles de Panama', ha revelado como cientos de españoles emplearon ese despacho para crear compañías opacas que els permitieran operar burlando al fisco. Así, según las informaciones que está facilitando el Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas de Investigación, junto con 107 medios de todo el mundo -en España La Sexta y El Confidencial- entre los 11 millones de documentos filtrados aparecen 1.200 sociedades, 558 accionistas, 166 clientes intermediarios y 89 beneficiarios con sede postal en España. La cifra de españoles puede ser aún mayor pues no se descarta que muchos hayan facilitado una dirección postal en otro país. La infanta Pilar de Borbón aparece como presidenta y administradora desde 1974 de la sociedad panameña Delantera Financiera S.A. que fue disuelta el 24 de junio de 2014, cinco días después de la proclamación de Felipe VI HERMANOS ALMODÓVAR También en la documentación de ese bufete aparecen los hermanos Pedro y Agustín Almodóvar, apoderados de la sociedad Glen Valley Corporation registrada en las Islas Vírgenes británicas entre 1991 y 1994. Otro de los apellidos españoles que ha trascendido hasta el momento es el de la familia Domecq, doce de cuyos miembros tuvieron firma autorizada para gestionar cuentas en Suiza, cuyo titular era la empresa Rinconada Investments. -
La Directiva De Protección De Los Informadores
Análisis sobre los aspectos básicos de la propuesta de Directiva del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo relativa a la protección de las personas que informen sobre infracciones del Derecho de la Unión, conocida popularmente como ‘Directiva de alertadores’, así como por los riesgos jurídicos de su futura transposición a España. LA DIRECTIVA DE PROTECCIÓN DE LOS INFORMADORES CARLOS SÁNCHEZ ALMEIDA Director legal de la PDLI LA DIRECTIVA DE PROTECCIÓN DE LOS INFORMADORES Carlos Sánchez Almeida, director jurídico de la PDLI IV Congreso Internacional de Transparencia, Málaga, 1 de octubre de 2019 Informador: informador, ra. Del lat. informātor, -ōris. 1. adj. Que informa. U. t. c. s. 2. m. y f. Periodista de cualquier medio de difusión. Delator, sinónimos sugeridos: acusica, alertador, soplón, chivato, cotilla, correveidile, judas, traidor, desleal, acusador, denunciador, denunciante, fuelle, chota, confidente, revelador, cañuto, boquilla. Pertenecer a una familia de guardas costeros me había permitido fascinarme desde siempre con la cantidad de vocabulario correspondiente al ámbito de la revelación de secretos que tiene un trasfondo náutico en inglés. Antes incluso de los tiempos de la fragata Warren, las organizaciones, igual que los navíos, sufrían filtraciones, o leaks en inglés. Cuando el vapor sustituyó al viento como mecanismo de propulsión, se soplaban silbatos, o whistles, en el mar para indicar distintas intenciones y emergencias: un soplo para pasar por el puerto, dos soplos para pasar a estribor, cinco para una advertencia. Por su parte, en otras lenguas europeas esos mismos términos están con frecuencia cargados con valencias políticas que vienen condicionadas por el contexto histórico. Los franceses utilizaron denonciateur durante gran parte del siglo XX, hasta que en la época de la Segunda Guerra Mundial la asociación de la palabra con ser un "denunciante" o "informante" para los alemanes provocó que se diese preferencia al uso de lanceur d’alerte ("el que lanza una alerta"). -

Panama's Competitive Advantage, 2016
Panama´s Competitive Advantage, 2016 "The Panama Papers are a global attack against the (our) financial system". La Estrella’s (Panamanian Newspaper) headline April 4th 2016 On August 5th, 2016, Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz announced his resignation from the Committee of Independent Experts that had been set in place by President Juan Carlos Varela to formulate recommendations to achieve higher transparency standards for Panama. Mark Pieth, a Swiss professor of law and anti-corruption expert, resigned along with Stiglitz. Both argued that the government refused to guarantee that the committee´s report would be made public1. The remaining five members faced important challenges. Besides having to explain to the media the reasons behind the resignation of these two characters, they needed to define the committee´s stance. On the one hand, they could adopt a position similar to that of the Vice-minister of Foreign Relations, who in April had rejected a letter of the Secretary General of the OECD2. The Vice-Minister had argued that the OECD´s claim related to a “culture of secrecy that prevailed in the country” was based on false allegations, and that it could be easily be proven wrong. Alternatively, the committee could adopt a position closer to that of the Minister of Economy and Finance, who had expressed in April that Panama, would start in 2018 the application of the automatic fiscal information exchange required by the OECD3. 1 The report was eventually made public on November 18th, 2016, and it is unclear why some of the original members of the committee believed this would not happen. -
Paraísos Fiscales Y Entidades Offshore
Paraísos fiscales y entidades offshore: reino de la impunidad La revelación de más de 13 millones de documentos sobre la actuación de la operadora de servicios offshore Appleby, con oficinas en Bermudas, Islas Vírgenes, Islas Caimán, Guernsey, la Isla de Man, Jersey, Mauricio y las Seychelles, pone al descubierto un vasto listado de políticos encumbrados, magnates, figuras del espectáculo, del deporte, así como grandes empresas de diversos países –México, entre ellos– que recurren, en forma esporádica o regular, a la opacidad que dan los llamados paraísos fiscales para efectuar operaciones de compraventa, triangular recursos y fundar o liquidar corporaciones al cubierto de la fiscalización gubernamental y de la mirada pública. Aunque la filtración, divulgada ayer por el Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas de Investigación, no permite concluir la comisión de delitos por parte de los involucrados en tales operaciones, aunque sí deja ver la determinación de importantes actores de la política y los negocios de mantener en secreto buena parte de sus movimientos financieros. Asimismo, hace evidente que una parte fundamental de transacciones determinantes para la economía mundial transita por los albañales offshore, y que lo anterior es visto como asunto rutinario y normal por los numerosos usuarios de paraísos fiscales. En la lista de clientes de Appleby figuran las firmas Nike, Apple, Uber, América Móvil, Femsa, Grupo Modelo, Cemex, Walmart de México, e incluso empresas públicas como Petróleos Mexicanos. El presidente colombiano, Juan Manuel Santos; la reina Isabel II; el secretario de Comercio de Estados Unidos, Wilbur Ross, así como el yerno y asesor de Donald Trump, Jared Kushner. Además, potentados como George Soros, Carlos Slim y Alberto Baillères González; los políticos priístas Ernesto Gil Elorduy y Joaquín Gamboa Pascoe (fallecido el año pasado), y cantantes como Bono y Madonna.
