If you are following the case against Ex President Martinelli and his possible extradition to Panama then you must know that the case may be dropped because of an affidavit introduced by the Department of Foreign Affairs in USA
.
Apparently there was an affidavit by Mr. Pitti that was introduced in January, after Panama's request to the US to extradite Martinelli and without knowledge or consent of the prosecutor in Panama and Martinelli's lawyer, as such, they are asking to strike out this affidavit but further they are using this as one more proof of political persecution.
The judge had said he will give his response by this week, which ends today, this is a long weekend in the US and lots of lawyers for Martinelli both from Panama and the US are on pins and needles and have filed numerous motions... should be an interesting outcome

This started off on the home page .appropriate enough, and somehow evolved into the RANT criteria. Some just can't help being offensive
Aren't you being a little partial, Louis?
Agreed Jim. It's politically motivated - someone has something to gain by this.
You can't believe everything that you read. Criminals don't usually hide out in the US.
2018 will be a very interesting year and I will not be surprised if CD won the elections in 2019
Those are opinions, which you're entitled to, but not facts. The accomplishments of this government have been well documented as have the misdeeds of the Martinelli era.
If the public indeed prefers corrupt governance then it's a reflection of the mindset of the populace which says that theft and criminality is OK.
