Sabba – French writer Honoré de Balzac said that behind every great fortune, lies a great crime. Now David Cameron, it is time to reveal where your family and your wife’s family fortune actually comes from. It is time to admit your family and your wife’s family made their fortune in the slave trade, as slave traders and slave owners. And it is also time to reveal how much money your family and your wife’s family got heavily compensated with after slavery was officially abolished.
ITV NEWS – David Cameron and his wife owned shares in the Panamanian trust set up by his late father, before selling them for around £30,000 in 2010, he has exclusively told ITV News.
The prime minister made the revelations about his involvement with the offshore fund set up by his father Ian – exposed in the Panama Papers – in an interview with Political Editor Robert Peston.
Mr Cameron said he made a profit on around 5,000 units the couple owned in Blairmore Investment Trust, but insisted the money was subjected to UK tax rules.
He also divulged details of his £300,000 inheritance and said recent criticism of his father was “unfair”.
