The anti-corruption prosecutor in charge of investigating members of Spain’s ruling party resigned Thursday after media claimed that he holds a 25 percent stake in an offshore company in Panama.
Manuel Moix’s resignation came days after infoLibre revealed that, when his father died in 2011, Moix and his three brothers inherited ownership of Duchesse Financial Overseas – a company incorporated in the tax haven Panama in January 1988.
One of the company’s treasurers is Aida May Biggs, a 93-year-old Panamanian woman, whose name appeared as a front-man to 17,539 companies in last year’s Panama Papers leak. It was also presided by a lawyer in Switzerland, whose sister was named as the company’s secretary.
The sole activity of the offshore company appears to be the ownership of the Moix family home, a three-story chalet worth €550,000 (US$ 620,000) with an indoor pool, located in a gated community close to Madrid.
