Issues such as the irregular links between Manuel Antonio Noriega and Pablo Escobar, the misnamed Panama Papers, Waked Case, Odebrecht and Martinelli have made the name of Panama in the international arena negatively. The foregoing in the opinion of Nicolás Castro, consultant and advisor in matters of investments, capital markets, risks and regulatory compliance.
