I m reading the real journalist, they assert: "The documents also expose bribery scandals and corrupt head of the State and government. The alleged offshore companies of twelve current and former head of State [Macri included] makes one of the most spectacular parts of the leak".

But I couldn't find the phrasal you quoted. You were not refering to Clarin or Lanata as Real press/journalist right?
From the page bajo kindly linked to:
Panama Papers is the biggest-ever international cooperation of its kind. In the past 12 months, around 400 journalists from more than 100 media organizations in over 80 countries have taken part in researching the documents.

So, if -
- the problem with showing up in the papers is a presumption that MF's clients were trying to conceal their holdings;
- the business which was ostensibly supposed to be concealed, had been declared, in Argentina;
