Prime Minister of Iceland Resigns Over ‘Panama Papers’

The fallout continues from the Panama papers document leak with Iceland’s Prime Minister facing calls for his resignation.

FOX’s Simon Owen explains from the European Bureau:

The Icelandic Prime Minister resigning, according to one of his top lawmakers. Two days after being caught up in an international tax-avoidance scandal.

Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson is one of a number of world leaders and other high-profile figures, apparently named in a leak of millions of documents from a law firm in Panama.

Gunnlaugsson was linked to a hidden off-shore company. He insisted he’d done nothing wrong. But after two days of protests in Reykjavik, he’s stepping down.
