(VOVworld)- Law firm Mossack Fonseca has threatened to take legal actions against the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists ICIJ following its release of shell companies.

The law firm claimed that the leakage stemmed from an illegal cyber attack and had asked the consortium to stop its disclosure. The warning came one day after another ICIJ release of more than 200,000 foreign elements managed and set up by Mossack Fonseca.
