The ex-president Ricardo Martinelli provoked a new controversy at the end of another session of the audience yesterday due to the punctures.
‘If they condemn me, it is the Panamanian State that will have to pay’: Martinelli
Accusation to Ricardo Martinelli complies with the law: Jerónimo Mejía
Defense of Ricardo Martinelli questions the autonomous accusation
Magistrate Harry Diaz insists that the protected witness will not be identified
When he left the room of the Second Superior Court , he shouted to the journalists: “If they condemn me politically, it is the Panamanian State that will have to pay, because I was the president of the Republic.”
The point made by Martinelli was also confirmed by his defense at the hearing. The lawyer Sidney Sitton announced: “In the event that my client is held criminally liable,” he will request that the case be transferred to the Third Chamber of the Administrative Contentious Court .
These proposals arise after four of the six plaintiffs in the indictment against former President Martinelli presented requests for compensation amounting to about $ 55.9 million for alleged damages caused by the interception of their communications and violations of their privacy.
