Officials raided the offices of Mossack Fonseca on April 12, searching for evidence of illegal activity—10 days after the law firm hit the spotlight after a massive data leak.
Organized crime prosecutors were looking for evidence of money laundering and financing terrorism.
The raid comes after 11.5 million documents from the Panama-based law firm were leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and other news organizations. The data breach named 12 world leaders and 140 other politicians in connection to offshore companies in 21 tax havens. The names included Vladimir Putin, Argentine president Mauricio Macri, soccer superstar Lionel Messi, and the Prime Minister of Iceland.
