Right Link. It's a compilation section focusing on the London Elections and the Panama Papers and Obama's crackdown on Shell Companies. Yell at Vox for their format.

Guardian also has some new tidbits from the still-unnamed source. They've expressed willingness to work with law enforcement; also, they're pretty withering about the various media groups that refused to look at the documents (including Wikileaks).

Emma Watson has been implicated in...something.

Setting up an offshore company isn't a crime, so long as she wasn't using it to commit tax evasion.

She might have been using it for tax avoidance though, which is certisnly immoral. However the safety argument is one that's going to need explaining, I can certainly see her having reasons to need to keep personal matters anonymous for her safety, but why business ones? Unless the business wasn't so much as business as a funnel for her to avoid tax on personal wealth by making it business wealth.
