The so-called Panama Papers should be used as a launchpad to develop multi-jurisdictional efficiencies and to promote an exchange of best practices globally to fight corruption and mitigate widespread illicit financial flows.

Swiss Foreign Ministry public international law and legal adviser and director-general Ambassador Valentin Zellweger said on Monday that the release of the Panama Papers highlighted the increasing difficulties of ensuring corrupt activities remained under wraps in an electronic age, but added that it had also unveiled the difficulties in taking action after the crime had been committed across multiple jurisdictions.
