The National Police reported on Wednesday, January 8, that a Cuban citizen requested for extradition by the United States was arrested.

According to the entity, this arrest was achieved in a joint operation between agents of the National Police of the Money Laundering Division, Interpol Panama, and officials of the Superior Prosecutor’s Office for International Affairs.

That group of officers carried out a search and seizure operation in an apartment located in the Paitilla sector, where the suspect was located.

The man is accused of committing bank fraud and money laundering crimes, through which he defrauded and laundered approximately $600,000, affecting multiple victims in the United States.  (* $600K is chicken feed compared to what I am aware of. ) 

The arrest, according to the National Police, is the result of several months of investigation, in which there was international cooperation.

According to the National Police, the Mayabeque operation represents “a clear example of how collaboration between the different police and prosecutorial units in Panama” can combat organized crime.
