Iceland Prime Minister 'not resigning' over Panama Papers, just stepping aside for ‘unspecified amount of time’
'The Prime Minister has not resigned and will continue to serve as Chairman of the Progressive Party'
The Prime Minister of Iceland has said he has not resigned but has simply stepped aside for a period of time, according to a press release from his office.
It comes after the leak of the “Panama Papers” from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which reportedly show that Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson and his wife Anna Sigurlaug Palsdottir had an offshore firm in the British Virgin Islands to allegedly shield investments worth millions.
The shell company, Wintris, was set up in 2007, according to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists
(ICIJ) which published the papers. But it was not declared when Mr Gunnlaugsson entered parliament two years later.
