Middle East News: Lebanon PM Mikati says family wealth legal in response to ‘Pandora Papers’ – Gulf Digital News
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati's family wealth comes from a communications business that has been audited in the past and is legal, a statement from his office said on Tuesday in response to a giant leak of financial documents.
A Lebanese news organisation, Daraj, was among international media outlets that reported on the "Pandora Papers", a set of leaked documents purporting to reveal offshore transactions involving global political and business figures.
Daraj said Mikati owned an offshore firm in Panama called Hessvile through which he bought a property in Monaco worth 7 million euros.
