It appeared from The Telegraph that 'Marvelous Macri' has also had a toe dipped in the shit-pond but I see he claims no wrongdoing. He is an argy after all!

Camoron's family trust is/was also involved, as well as MP's (from both parties and of course The Lords) so poorly paid - it must be their expenses and 'advice' that's making the money go around!”

And the guy responsible claims no wrongdoing. Oh Bless!

Having an off-shore company is usually not illegal. Where the problem is for Politicians, not rich people, is where did the money come from?
Going into office poor or middling and coming out fabulously wealthy will take a lot of explaining.

In the present circumstances of the political + economic crisis; Brazil has two options only!
#1: EITHER entrust the leadership into the hands of a leader who is the least corrupt
#2: OR legalize corruption + money-laundering.
NOTE:
REF: #1: The most honest may be the “illegal” money-changer/launderer!
Of course, the following is not meant for the Brazilian Politicians [They have the know-how already]:
