Emma Watson on Panama li$t

- Danika Fears

“Harry Potter” star Emma Watson’s name has turned up in the searchable Panama Papers database — prompting her spokespers­on to admit she’d set up an offshore account for “privacy.”

“Emma (like many high-profile individual­s) set up an offshore company for the sole purpose of protecting her anonymity and safety,” the actress’ spokespers­on said in a statement. “Emma receives absolutely no tax or monetary advantages from this offshore company whatsoever — only privacy.”

The database, with details on nearly 320,000 offshore accounts, was published Monday by ICIJ, a journalist­s group.
