La geografía financiera de los “papeles de Panamá” en Sudamérica

The information published in the “Panama papers” allows us to reconstruct the spatial structure of the financial societies of South America. For this, the location of 155,000 connections between people and societies, and its network of relations with other re-gions of the world, has been analyzed. This has made it possible to determine international financial connections, their degree of interaction and diversification within South America, as well as their external dimension. Through it, the movements of capital between different territories can be reconstructed and the role played in the spatial confi-guration of illicit financial flows can be evaluated. The result is a mapping between the points of origin and destination of the funds depo-sited in tax havens. It allows identifying the connection nodes that articulate this fabric complex. Finally, a geographical analysis is carried out in different scales that allows to establish the urban location of residents and societies with interests in these spaces.
