“Panama Papers†leak may have possible implications for Guyana
Apparently, the leaked records show that Gunnlaugsson co-owned a company set up in 2007 on the Caribbean island of Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands, to hold investments with his wealthy partner whom he later married.
There are possible ramifications for Caribbean countries as well. The Panama Papers reported that the law firm has over 3000 clients in the US and 9000 in the United Kingdom, in addition to other countries. The paper showed a map which highlighted the different clientele countries, with Guyana being significantly highlighted, along with Venezuela, Brazil and other South American countries.
It is too early, however, to tell if any of the information that was leaked has relevance to Guyana since out of the 11.5 million documents only 154 are in the public domain.
