Reykjavík Media says that it plans to release those names shortly.
‘At Reykjavík Media we are looking for assistance from anyone with knowledge of offshore holdings held by companies and individuals linked to Icelandic fisheries,’ A Reykjavík Media spokesman said.
‘We want to encourage anyone with information on offshore holdings linked to Icelandic fisheries to bring this to Reykjavík Media.’
