British Prime Minister, David Cameron has also been fingered in the leak. Cameron whose late father Ian’s offshore fund named Blairmore Holdings  was listed in the documents, admitted that he had owned shares in the trust last Thursday. He also said that he sold the shares for around 30,000 pounds in 2010 before he won the election and the profit he made was subject to ordinary U.K tax rules.

The Prime Minister is being attacked for benefiting financially from a company seemingly created to avoid British taxes.

DailyMail reports that thousands of protesters have marched on Downing Street calling for the resignation of the British Prime Minister.

It also said that the protesters drew inspiration from the protests in Iceland that led to the resignation of its Prime Minister earlier this week.
