He added that in all the reporting so far “nobody is talking of the hack, and that is the only crime that has been committed.” In a telephone message responding to questions, Fonseca said, “We have lodged a complaint. We have a technical report that we were hacked by servers abroad.” He did not specify from which country the hack was carried out.
Fonseca also rued the fact that reporting on the 11.5 million documents taken from Mossack Fonseca’s computer system focused on the high-profile clients who had used the law firm to set up offshore companies to hold their wealth. “We don’t understand. The world is already accepting that privacy is not a human right,” he said.
