The named people are merely the central facilitators of the scheme. The general lack of consequences for the uber-wealthy named in the papers has been an ongoing theme, the lackeys getting away without a conviction is just the cherry on top.

IIRC in Germany there’s still an active prosecution section working on the cases (and only those). It takes a long time to go through. And we may not hear of what comes of the cases.
