Ramón Fonseca, a partner in the Mossack Fonseca law firm at the center of the “Panama Papers” scandal, has died. Lawyer Guillermina McDonald confirmed to The Associated Press in a phone message that Fonseca died late Wednesday. She said he had been hospitalized since two days before last month’s start of a trial centered on his firm. Fonseca was not present at the trial, but his partner Jürgen Mossack did attend. He was among more than two dozen associates accused of helping some of the world’s richest people hide their wealth. A verdict is still awaited.
