Panama Papers: Head of Chile's Transparency International ResignsLa Paz, April 5 (RHC-teleSUR), -- The president of the Chilean branch of Transparency International, Gonzalo Delaveau, resigned Monday after being implicated in the corruption scandal unveiled by a massive leak of documents from a Panamanian law firm specializing in establishing shell companies.

Delaveau was was linked to at least five of those companies.

Delaveau’s name is just one of the tens of thousands that appear in the documents from the Mossack Fonseca law firm. The list was shared with more than 100 other international news outlets, as well as the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

The scandal, dubbed the “Panama Papers,” exploded on Sunday, ensnaring high-level businessmen and right-wing Latin American politicians in illegal practices such as money laundering and tax evasion.

Among the politicians implicated are Argentine President Mauricio Macri, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, Peruvian presidential front-runner Keiko Fujimori and Brazilian lawmaker Eduardo Cunha. The list also includes business and political elites from across the globe.
