LONDON — The prime minister of Iceland resigned on Tuesday after an enormous leak of documents from a secretive Panamanian law firm about offshore shell companies and tax shelters.
The
resignation of the prime minister, Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, was
the first prominent political fallout from the document leaks, which
have shed unflattering light on the private financial activities of many
rich and powerful people around the world.
Mr.
Gunnlaugsson’s resignation was announced on television by Sigurdur Ingi
Johannsson, a government minister and the deputy chairman of his
Progressive Party, and it was confirmed by the state broadcaster, RUV.
