CASPER – A legislative committee will discuss state laws that entangled Wyoming in the Panama Papers, 11.5 million leaked documents from a Central American law firm accused of helping wealthy people create shell companies to avoid paying taxes.
Of the 214,488 entities mentioned in the Panama Papers, 24 were found to be registered in Wyoming as limited liability companies, according to a statement from Ed Murray, the Wyoming Secretary of State. The leaked client records came from the Mossack Fonseca & Co. law firm, headquartered in Panama City.
The Wyoming Legislature’s Joint Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Interim Committee will discuss the state’s limited liability company statutes at a regularly scheduled meeting today in Lander. Murray and some of his staff members will attend.
At least one corporate attorney will participate in person, and other corporate attorneys will testify via telephone, said committee chairman Rep. Dan Zwonitzer, R-Cheyenne.
