Operation Tamiz Leads to Six Arrests in Alleged Public Corruption Case
PANAMA CITY, August 13, 2026 – Six people were apprehended during Operation Tamiz for alleged links to corruption of public servants and crimes against public faith, Metro Libre reported, citing the Public Ministry.
The alleged offenses involve the Directorate of Public Security Affairs, known as DIASP.
The operation was carried out by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor Office of the Attorney General Office together with the National Directorate of Police Intelligence.
Authorities said the investigation seeks to clarify the alleged commission of the crimes and determine the corresponding responsibilities.
The report did not identify the detainees by name or detail the exact administrative processes under review, making the next prosecutorial filings important for public understanding.
Cases involving crimes against public faith often turn on records, permits, certifications or official documents that prosecutors allege were falsified or improperly handled.
Operation Tamiz adds another item to Panama ongoing anti-corruption agenda, where institutions face pressure to show both due process and accountability.
Why it matters
The operation involves alleged misconduct affecting a public security office and the integrity of official processes.
What happens next
Prosecutors are expected to present or expand case details as hearings advance and responsibilities are assessed.
