Among the latest revelations to come out of the Panama Papers leak is that the Nahmad family does, in fact, own a Amedeo Modigliani canvas that was seized by Nazis during World War II and is the subject of an ongoing quest for restitution.
However, US authorities have struggled to establish the ownership of the painting as the Nahmads claimed in court the Panama-based IAC held it. After the leaked papers, obtained along with millions of others by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, revealed Nahmad as the owner of IAC, he told Radio Canada he "could not sleep at night if I knew I owned a looted object". Reacting to the leak, the family's lawyer Richard Golub said it was "irrelevant" who owned the company, as "the main thing is what are the issues in the case, and can the plaintiff prove them?"
Des documents confidentiels, que Le Monde a pu consulter, lèvent le voile sur une partie de ce mystère. Obtenues par le Consortium international de journalistes d'investigations (ICIJ) et la Süddeutsche Zeitung, ces pièces font partie des « Panama papers ». Elles démontrent que la société IAC n'a d'autre actionnaire depuis sa création en 1995… que la famille Nahmad. Depuis 2014, derrière ses dirigeants fantômes se cache un et un seul propriétaire : David Nahmad, le patriarche familial.
