Mossack Fonseca Law Firm Sues Netflix for Casting as Villain
Bloomberg Law reports that the partners of Mossack Fonseca & Co., the law firm portrayed as the villains in the new movie Netflix “The Laundromat,” sued the company for libel and trademark infringement.
The firm’s complaint in U.S. district court in Connecticut claims the film “defames and portrays the Plaintiffs as ruthless uncaring lawyers who are involved in money laundering, tax evasion, bribery and/or other criminal conduct.”
The founders of the law firm implicated in the Panama Papers also say “the implications and innuendo converge to cast Plaintiffs in the light of mastermind criminals whose crimes include, but are not limited to, murder, bribery, money laundering and/or corruption.”
