U.S. charges four in 'Panama Papers' tax evasion scheme

Three employees and a client affiliated with a law firm connected to the massive leak of offshore financial data known as the "Panama Papers" were charged in an indictment unsealed on Tuesday, accused of a decades-long scheme to defraud the United States.

The U.S. Justice Department said that three of the four people charged have been arrested. The fourth defendant, a lawyer who worked for the law firm Mossack Fonseca & Co., remains at large. (Reporting by Sarah N. Lynch, Editing by Rosalba O'Brien)
