		</div><p>A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin says he is the &#8220;main target&#8221; of the media investigation into offshore accounts, but that he is not implicated in any wrongdoing.</p>
<p>The documents published by more than 100 media outlets alleged that Mr Putin&#8217;s friends, including a leading cellist, were engaged in an offshore scheme.</p>
<p>Mr Putin&#8217;s spokesman Dmitry Peskov says &#8220;it&#8217;s obvious that the main target of such attacks is our president&#8221;, and claimed that the publication was aimed at influencing Russia&#8217;s stability and parliamentary elections scheduled for September.</p>
<p>Mr Peskov said international media had wrongly focused on Mr Putin instead of other world politicians, even though he was not implicated in any wrongdoing, and suggested the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a key player in the publication, had ties to the US government.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the French president said the leaked documents from a Panamanian law firm are &#8220;good news&#8221; because it will help the state to recover money from people who have committed tax evasion.</p>
<p>Francois Hollande, speaking to reporters during the visit of a tech company in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt, said &#8220;the whistleblowers do a useful work for the international community; they&#8217;re taking risks, so they must be protected&#8221;.</p>
<p>Last year, the French tax administration recovered €12bn from people who had committed tax evasion or tax avoidance, according to the French president.</p>
<p>Regarding the French clients of the Panamanian firm Mossack Fonseca, &#8220;all the investigations will be made&#8221; and potential trials &#8220;will be held&#8221;, Mr Hollande says.<br />
