As Bahamas Leaks are confidential documents of the Bahamian company register referred to as a result of data leakage came on 21 September 2016 the public. They contain information on 175,888 letterbox companies and foundations that were established between 1990 and 2016.

The revelations revealed that Neelie Kroes , Amber Rudd , William Francis Morneau , Carlos Caballero Argáez , Manuel Domingos Vicente , Hamad ibn Jasim ibn Jabir Al Thani , Süchbaataryn Batbold and Georg Freiherr von Waldenfels owned a mailbox company in the Bahamas.

Susanne Klatten , Stefan Quandt and sports legends around Uwe Seeler had reported companies in the Caribbean tax haven since the 1980s. This emerges from the documents that SPIEGEL has. Accordingly, in addition to the Seeler couple, the former Bremen national soccer player Max Lorenz , the former Olympic decathlon champion Willi Holdorf and other shareholders based in Germany owned the Triton Company (1980), which is still registered in the City of Freeport.
