From 2007 to 2014, Gutiérrez Robayo created a network of 12 offshore companies and three foundations in Panama and the British Virgin Islands handled by his firm Trenaco Colombia. He was the owner of at least 11 of the companies and one foundation. However, he managed the whole network with his wife, who co-owned a company and was the main beneficiary of a foundation; and one of his associates, who was also a co-owner of three firms. The companies' activities took place in Panama, Colombia, United Kingdom and Switzerland in sectors including biotechnology, cattle ranching and real estate. An official investigation into possible influence peddling in the summer of 2014 resulted in no charges against Gutiérrez Robayo, according to the public prosecutor's office. Mossack Fonseca resigned from his companies because he was considered a "politically exposed person." As a result, he hired another Panamanian law firm to keep his offshore network alive. When their firms were with Mossack Fonseca, Gutiérrez Robayo and his wife opened a Swiss bank account between 2010 and 2011.
