David Mark reacts to the Panama report, denies owning any offshore company in the British Virgin Island


Former Senate President David Mark, has released a statement, denying claims in the Panama report that he owned eight offshore companies in British Virgin Island. Premiumtimes on Tuesday April 5th, reported that an investigation carried out by them and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), showed that the former senate president was the owner of eight offshore companies in the Island. In his response, Mark in denying the claim, said some political elements were out to tarnish his image. Read his statement after the cut


"Our attention has been drawn to spurious Media reports on the Panama papers in which former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark was alleged to have operated offshore companies. For the avoidance of doubt, in the released materials of the Panama Leaks, his name is not listed anywhere in the database of Mossack Fonseca Law Firm.
We reiterate categorically, that he is not directly or indirectly connected to any of the companies registered, operated or managed by the Mossack Fonseca Law Firm. We challenge all those behind this propaganda and Media outburst to prove or show that Senator Mark’s name was mentioned in the leaks. He is prepared to stand and defend himself against any accusation in relation to this matter. Senator Mark’s Media team has carried out its own search of the Mossack Fonseca database and found no statement, item or any connection to Senator David Mark or his Family. It follows that there is no record whatsoever of any impropriety or wrongdoing.
We recall that in his quest for Senate Presidency in 2007, there was an attempt to bring a similar issue to the fore in order to stop him. So what are their fears now in 2016 for regurgitating the same issue?Once more, Senator Mark has distanced himself and any member of his family from the said Mossack Fonseca Firm and has no affiliation whatsoever with any company operated, registered or managed by Mossack Fonseca. Senator Mark has not contravened any laws of the land and he is treating this for what it is, an attempt to blackmail and tarnish his hard earned image by some political elements.As a public officer, Senator Mark has maintained a high level of decorum, respects and observes the laws of the land and believes in the sanctity of the rule of law. He will not be distracted by what is clearly a deliberate mischief and propaganda."
Records of all his assets are available with the relevant government agencies and can be verified.He has consulted his legal team and will take this up accordingly.

Photos: Did ISIS terrifying 'Bulldozer' executioner just reveal his face while beheading 3 Peshmerga prisoners?

The 20-stone monster known only as the Bulldozer who is one of ISIS terror group's bloodiest executioners might have just exposed his identity after a bearded Islamic State militant beheaded kneeling prisoners in the middle of a busy street in Iraq.


But the 'Bulldozer' has never been known to show his face on camera unlike this extremist who made no attempt to hide his identity. Before slitting their throats and then beheading them, he rants to the camera, threatening both the Kurdish Peshmerga forces attacking IS and the Kurdish president Masoud Barzani.


A third man was executed in the same way before the killer paraded the head of one of his victims around. The Bulldozer has beheaded men and severed the limbs of children. One 14-year-old Syrian boy called Omar has told how the ISIS extremist, a towering figure in black, cut off his hand and foot because he refused to join IS.
