Authorities in El Salvador have raided the offices of the Panama law firm at the centre of a massive data leak, the attorney general’s office says.
Documents and computer equipment were seized from the Mossack Fonseca office, officials said on Twitter.
The attorney general’s office said the Mossack Fonseca sign had been removed a day earlier and quoted an employee as saying the firm was moving.
The leak showed how some wealthy people use offshore companies to evade tax.
The raid was overseen by El Salvador’s Attorney General Douglas Melendez.
