Panama Papers: Putin rejects corruption allegations

President Putin spoke for the first time since the Panama Papers have been released, stating that Russia's Western opponents "are worried by the unity and solidarity of the Russian nation."  He then states that because they could not find Mr. Putin in the documents, the Western media is attempting to defame his close friends.  BBC states that "the papers name Mr. Putin's long-time friend and godfather to his daughter, the cellist Sergei Ruldugin, as the owner of two offshore firms, International Media Overseas and Sonnette Overseas."
