Campaign number: 7:

WE MUST IDENTIFY THE NIGERIAN INDIVIDUALS AND PUBLIC OFFICERS WHO HAVE HIDDEN EMBEZZLED MONEY THROUGH OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS.

Details

Whilst hiding ones assets through an offshore account is not strictly a crime, it is often an indication of a crime. At the very least it is likely to be a means to avoid paying taxes. More often than not, it is is means of hiding illegally amassed wealth. Nigerian Public officials who fail to declare assets that are hidden in offshore accounts are committing a criminal offence.

Several millions of financial and legal records which exposes secret offshore accounts of high profile individuals and government officials around the world were leaked in 2016 from a Panamanian law firm which specialised in helping clients hide their assets. In October 2021 the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) leaked another 11.9 million records similar to the Panama papers. The Paradise Papers are a set of over 13.4 million confidential electronic documents leaked in 2017.

Due to the sheer number documents involved, it is an onerous task for us to identify which of these records pertain to Nigerian individuals and public officials. Fantastically Corrupt is hiring dedicated legal staff to help sift through these papers so that we can bring the guilty to justice. We would appreciate any assistance from the public in helping us achieve this goal.
