When I searched few names in Offshore Leak, the web page returned the name of Dr Vijay Mallya. I was well expecting his name in the Panama Papers. Dr Mallya owns Venture New Holding Ltd in the tax heaven of North East Carribean nation- British Virgin Island. He is also the beneficiary owner of this firm. This holds another firm Sharecorp Ltd which is registered in India. Through this company Vijay Mallya was able to have business links with different countries like Singapore, China, Britan, Italy, USA to name few. He could have siphoned off the money through this network, also avoiding the taxation. The profit was routed back to him through Venture New Holding Ltd, legally avoiding the tax, being registered in the tax heaven, British Virgin Island.
