  • President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine
  • Prime Minister of Iceland Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson
  • President of the United Arab Emirates Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Finally, while Russian Vladimir Putin has widely been reported as the most high profile person implicated, his name appears nowhere in the Panama Papers. As the Guardian reports:
