MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday media reports about offshore accounts in Panama were a "provocation" and the German newspaper behind the leaks was beholden to U.S. bank Goldman Sachs.

Putin, speaking at his annual televised phone-in, said United State officials were behind the leaks and media reports were designed to sow doubts about individuals.
