Law Firm Leak A Wake-Up Call For Panama Authorities \u2013 And Florida Legislators?<\/h3>\n

Not surprisingly, the Panama Papers controversy that erupted this week is shining a renewed spotlight on the financial practices of\u2026Panama. Money-laundering experts say that’s a good thing \u2013 and it just might be a good thing for South Florida too.<\/p>\n

The massive leak of documents confirms at least two things:<\/p>\n

Panamanian law firms are very prolific at creating offshore firms where clients can secretly park vast sums of money.<\/p>\n

And the wealth that\u2019s being parked in those shell companies is often earned less than honestly \u2013 if not downright criminally. In other words, it\u2019s being laundered.<\/p>\n

Panamanian law firms like Mossack Fonseca \u2013 the source of the Panama Papers leak \u2013 say they\u2019re not liable for the nature of those assets. But money-laundering experts here in South Florida call that a disingenuous claim at best.<\/p>\n

«Panamanian law firms have a requirement to report,» says Michael Diaz Jr., managing partner at the Miami law firm Diaz Reus & Targ.<\/strong> Diaz has helped governments around the world sue Panamanian law firms for the return of allegedly corrupt assets hidden in shell companies.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Panama was just removed from an international blacklist of countries that aid money-laundering. Diaz says Panama should be applauded for its financial reforms. But the Panama Papers show it still has a big problem:<\/p>\n

\u201cSlack enforcement,» he says. «The law firms have been operating in this way for quite some time. Sadly that\u2019s the practice there. And the only way that\u2019s going to change is enforcement to make sure those reforms mean something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miami and Panama City are competing to be the financial services hub of the Americas \u2013 and this week, at least, Miami may look like the more reputable option.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a clean operation, you\u2019re going to want to be in Miami, which has stronger enforcement,\u201d says Diaz.<\/p>\n

That said, however, Diaz acknowledges that Florida \u2013 and the rest of the U.S. \u2013 have their own flaws to fix. Here, for example, law firms are not even required to report on assets coming into the shell companies they help set up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
