WE NAME THE 27 CO-DEFENDANTS IN THE MOSSACK & FONSECA MONEY LAUNDERING TRIAL UNFOLDING IN PANAMA THIS WEEK

Longtime readers of my financial crime articles may recall that I named and shamed many of the M & F partners and staff attorneys, who left the firm when the scandal broke, to work elsewhere in Panama City, intentionally omitting their previous employment at the target of the "Panama Papers." We did so to insure that any potential future clients, and those American lawyers needing to retain local counsel there, had all the facts before associating with lawyers who might later be arrested. Now, as you can see, arrests did come to pass.

We note that there is a presumption of innocence with these individuals, and that a few of their names are fairly common in Latin America. if in doubt, demand the lawyer's full name, and complete work history. Then check social media for confirmation. That being said, here are the names, as they appeared in Panama media reporting on the trial:
