“Harry Potter” star Emma Watson’s name has turned up in the searchable “Panama Papers” database — prompting her spokesperson to admit she’d set up an offshore account for “privacy.”
“Emma (like many high-profile individuals) set up an offshore company for the sole purpose of protecting her anonymity and safety,” the actress’ spokesperson said in a statement. “Emma receives absolutely no tax or monetary advantages from this offshore company whatsoever — only privacy.”
The database, with details on nearly 320,000 offshore accounts, was published by ICIJ, a journalists group Monday.
