Zehn Jahre Panama Papers: Als das BKA neue Computer brauchte

AI Summary

long article 8 min

Vor zehn Jahren enthüllten die Panama Papers ein Netzwerk von Offshore-Firmen, was das Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) in Deutschland sofort auf den Plan rief. BKA-Ermittler erfuhren von der Kanzlei Mossack Fonseca durch die Medienberichterstattung und erkannten schnell die Relevanz der Daten für Polizei und Steuerfahndung. Das BKA erwarb den Datensatz, der sich als der erste größere Fall dieser Art für die Behörde herausstellte. Die Daten gelangten auf unterschiedlichen Wegen zum BKA, teils anonym per Post, was eine Authentizitätsprüfung erforderlich machte. Die Panama Papers markierten den Beginn einer neuen Ära für das BKA im Umgang mit großen Datenlecks.
