Ramón Fonseca Mora (born 14 July 1952) is a Panamanian novelist, lawyer and co-founder of Mossack Fonseca, a former law firm based in Panama with more than 40 offices worldwide. He was minister-counselor of Juan Carlos Varela, and president of the Panameñista Party until he was dismissed in March 2016, due to the Brazilian Operation Car Wash.[1] In 2016, Mossack Fonseca was raided by police on suspicion of money-laundering, bribery and corruption.[2] Fonseca and his partner Jürgen Mossack were arrested and jailed on 10 February 2017.[3] They were initially refused bail because the court saw a flight risk,[4] but were released on 21 April 2017 after a judge ruled they had cooperated with the investigation and ordered them each to pay $500,000 in bail.[5][6] Numerous lawsuits including serious allegations of collusion with despotic regimes, mafia, and global criminals are ongoing.[7]
