Denmark's taxation minister today said authorities will buy leaked data from a Panamanian law firm that helped customers open offshore companies to avoid paying taxes.
Taxation minister Karsten Lauritzen said Denmark's Customs and Tax Administration had received an anonymous offer over the summer to acquire data from the so-called "Panama Papers" that could involve up to 600 people.
Lauritzen said "everything suggests that it is useful information" and "we owe it to all Danish taxpayers who faithfully pay their taxes."

He said the data cost a single-digit million kroner, where 9 million is equivalent to USD 1.4 million.
