So this law firm is headed up by a German, Jürgen Mossack, whose father Erhard was apparently in one of the Waffen-SS 'Skull Squadrons'. Connections between Germans and Latin America can be quite worrying, as that was where many Nazis fled to after the Second World War, although Erhard Mossack probably went to Panama to work there as an engineer, at least ostensibly. The Süddeutsche claims that the German Secret Service (BND) wouldn't return any information about documents it holds on Erhard Mossack on the grounds that it could 'jeopardise the well-being of the Federal Republic or one of its federal states'.
