Panama Papers: Offshore Firm Linked To T.B Joshua

T.B Joshua

An offshore company, Chillon Consultancy Limited, has been linked to T.B Joshua, the General Overseer of The Synagogue Church of All Nations, and his wife, Evelyn.

A German newspaper last week released the PanamaPapers, the biggest leak in the history of data journalism, publishing documents from Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca, which showed how politicians and business elites from across the world criminally his money using anonymous shell corporations across the world.

The offshore company linked to T.B Joshua was incorporated in June 2006, at the British Virgin Island, a notorious tax haven.

According to documents, Joshua and his wife own one ordinary share each, although the company, is authorized to issue a maximum of '50,000 no par value shares of a single class.'

It remains unclear what business Joshua transacted with the shell company which has no physical presence in Tortola, the largest and most inhabited island on the British Virgin Island.

However, the spokesman for Joshua, Mr. Iwelunmor Patrick, denied the report, describing it as an attempt to smear the good name of the cleric.
