Quick Glance: Historic Trial on Panama Papers Revealed Misconduct
- More than eight years since the initial Panama Papers disclosures by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and over 100 media partners worldwide, a significant money laundering trial has started in a Panamanian criminal court.
- Facing trial are 27 individuals, including Jürgen Mossack and Ramón Fonseca Mora, the founders of the now-defunct local law firm central to the scandal.
- The 2016 Panama Papers investigation stands out as one of the most extensive international collaborations in journalism, representing financial irregularities and political corruption in public perception.
- Scheduled to continue until April 26 and streamed live on YouTube, the trial will address Mossack Fonseca's alleged involvement in a bribery scandal with the German company Siemens and the establishment of dummy corporations for money laundering.

Quick Glance: Weisselberg sentenced to 5 months jail in Trump civil fraud case
- Retired Trump executive Allen Weisselberg was sentenced to five months in jail for admitting to lying under oath in a civil fraud lawsuit against the former president by New York’s attorney general.
- Weisselberg pleaded guilty to perjury related to the valuation of Trump's Manhattan penthouse, despite his deep loyalty to Trump and previous jail time for tax evasion.
- Important aspects include Weisselberg's testimonies in unfavorable trials for Trump and his decision not to testify in Trump's upcoming hush money criminal trial.
- Weisselberg's willingness to admit wrongdoing, age, and his role in Trump's organization were considered in his sentence, mirroring a previous case where he served a reduced jail term. He is likely to be involved in Trump's hush money trial, even if not as a witness.
