(5 Apr 2016) Members of Iceland's political opposition parties are calling on the prime minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson to resign in the wake of documents leaked in a media investigation linking him to an offshore company.
The link may represent a severe conflict of interest with his official role.
The leader of the Social Democratic Alliance Arni Pall Arnason said that Iceland's reputation abroad was tarnished, with the Icelandic Prime Minister on group photos with Putin and Assad.
The member of Bright Future party Bjort Olafsdottir asked for Gunnlaugsson's immediate resignation.
The leaked reports concern the company Wintris Inc., which Gunnlaugsson allegedly created in 2007 along with his partner at the time, Anna Sigurlaug Palsdottir, who is now his wife.
He allegedly sold his half of the company to Palsdottir for one US dollar on 31 December 2009, the day before a new Icelandic law took effect that would have required him to declare the ownership of Wintris as a conflict of interest.
