If the auction is in Spain, the auctioneer gets the name of the buyer, because he can not make the purchase with cash, has to use traceable money transfer methods and pay the taxes. He still can use an intermediary. However, maybe the auctioneer is not obligated to publish the name of the buyer, just tell it to the tax agency. > > Until some name turns up in a later Panama-Papers-style mass leak of > secrets of the rich and famous ... -- Cheers, Carlos.
