'Panama papers' law firm Mossack Fonseca raided in El Salvador

Authorities in El Salvador have raided the local offices of the offshore law firm Mossack Fonseca.

Documents and equipment have been seized from the company - which was the victim of the world's biggest-ever data leak.

The scandal has prompted Britain's Labour party to demand that the Prime Minister makes a statement to parliament about overseas shares he used to own.

Mr Cameron says he did nothing wrong, but former director of communications at 10 Downing Street, Jonathan Haslam, has said it is embarrassing.

“It’s certainly a very heavy black eye for him and a few other bruises too.

“And it comes after a number of weeks when the government generally has not been having a good time.

“But we look now to how he will recover his position.”
