Finance regulator says Samoa unfairly victimised by Pandora Papers

Samoa's been in the international media spotlight this week due to the massive leak of millions of documents from 14 offshore finance firms, dubbed the Pandora Papers.

One of the firms is Asiaciti Trust and the documents show how its founder, Australian accountant Graeme Briggs, amassed a personal fortune partly by helping high-risk clients keep their private financial dealings out of public view.
