A day before the prime minister of Iceland announced his resignation, the president of the Chilean chapter of Transparency International also vacated his office after he was named in the Panama Papers for his alleged involvement with secret companies. Although he is not accused of illegal activity, the leaks call into question his role as head of an organization monitoring government and corporate corruption.
“We are deeply troubled by what has happened with the Chair of our chapter in Chile,” José Ugaz, Chair of Transparency International, wrote in a statement on Tuesday. “At Transparency International we stand for transparency and integrity above all else and once we learned of Delaveau’s involvement with secret companies, our International Board began the process of suspending the chapter before possible dis-accreditation. With Delaveau’s resignation, our Board decided to halt its efforts to sanction the chapter.”
Founded in 1993, Transparency International is a German-based organization that monitors and publicizes political and corporate corruption on a multinational level. On Monday, Gonzalo Delaveau, the president of Transparency International in Chile, resigned after his name was discovered among tens of thousands of people named in the leaked Panama Papers. Documents from Mossack Fonseca linked Delaveau to at least five offshore companies.
