Just watching the local news tonight and it would appear that the Supreme Court has just approved an investigation into the ex-president's alleged delitos re 'pinchazos telefonicos' etc...His assistant 'Chi Chi' Obarrio ran away to the US a few days ago and the speculation was whether Martinelli would get out too...and guess what?..he has..now in Guatemala...fascinating all this.
Que piensan?

and another knifed in the Financial Pacific investigation and one woman close to death with a genetic disorder. Martinelli has every reason to be scared, not of Varela, he has him where he wants him , but by others, perhaps in Italy who want his mouth shut . I think they call it sleeping with the fishes, those big fishes you guys are talking about.
Fifteen days ago I suggested Martinelli may end up in Switzerland. The idea is based on the actions of other sinners in the region. When I left Costa Rica, two of that country's three previous Presidents had been charged with corruption and eventually got three years each, the third guy was living large in Switzerland. We'll see. If, as John says, he let's his ego get out in front of his brain, he'll come back to Panama and that may be a big mistake. Probably better for Varela and Panama if he just disappears in self-exile.
People can economically ruin the guy if they want to, simply by boycotting his businesses, and it may come to that.
Are you saying he's so vain that he felt the Panamanian people "owed" him?
But you're right, his ego has no bounds. But I don't believe he feels he did nothing wrong or he wouldn't be threatening people or checking into just how strong his immunity is or running out of Country. He's just a coward as most bullies are.
Well. The Shah went to Las Perlas ... perhaps Martinelli is considering a nice flat in Tehran?
Every Panamanian I talk with has high interest in prosecuting these crooks------- especially the ex prez. Hopefully they won't tire. I think too much damage was done for them to tire. Varela is doing a great job. Varela deserves more credit than he is being given by some.

That's nothing but an excuse, he's already done that on FB and Twitter. He is basically a gangster who stole from the Panamanian people. He can sue me for slander, I really don't care. My opinion certainly can't hurt him.
He made all these plans to leave the Country when he saw they were getting close. Stupid he's not, but he's also not as smart as he thought he was.
It doesn't matter that he has his own plane. Without a passport he would have a problem entering other countries, especially the US.
So he's gonna tell his story huh, like how he and his "family and friends" stole from the Panamanian people with no guilt whatsoever? That should make a good story. I'll wait for the movie.
Sure. "Cut off their heads!"
Why bother with due process? Not your country anyway, what does it matter?
