Investigation on tax havens is treated again in the Ecuadorean Assembly
Posted On 30 May 2016
The Justice Commission of the National Assembly will continue the investigations on offshore companies in tax havens in their information gathering phase, after the holidays.
The Legislative Branch decided to launch an investigation into this subject after the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) disclosed the information of more than 200 thousand offshore firms related to the legal consortium Mossack Fonseca (MF), documents that have been called Panama Papers and in which many Ecuadoreans appear.
Hasta el momento, esa mesa legislativa ha recibido en comisión general al fiscal general de la Nación, Galo Chiriboga, quien fue involucrado en dicho caso; Javier Bustos, docente de la Universidad San Francisco; Orlando Pérez, director de diario público El Telégrafo, y Leonardo Orlando, director del Servicio de Rentas Internas (SRI).
For the next June 8th, the appearance of former Minister of Hydrocarbons Carlos Pareja Yannuzzelli is planned, and that day Comptroller General Carlos Polit could also appear, although this has not yet been confirmed.
