Former Ambassador highlighted the case of a businessman who had a car accident four years ago, way to the airport and faces a $ 500,000 civil suit for damages. The driver of another vehicle was injured in the accident and three months later, a coroner came exactly 30 days disability making it a matter of the Transit Authority. However, the case ended up in municipal courts, where the chief justice is in-law and put an injunction on the employer. It is known that all forensic reports where the person has fully recovered were removed from the official record and only were those of his private doctor, Francisco Sanchez Cardenas. Sources confirm that the victim advocate is the same law firm that fought and destroyed the attorney, Vega and Alvarez.
Despite a fiscally that is not a criminal matter, and at least three appeals by the same public prosecutor is still waiting for a response to cancel the charge if the judge ordered the businessman to one year in prison. The annulard provides resources for the public prosecutor are excessive power and even the accused has not been notified of the hearing.
The new ambassador, Phyllis Powers, clearly stated the increase of such complaints and said that was adversely affecting the ability of American business investment and relations during the confirmation hearing of the Free Trade Agreement to Congress. U.S. businessmen are warning of the judicial system in Panama openly and many do not want to get away.
It is clear that this concern is rooted directly in the U.S. Congress, which has the task of ratifying the FTA between the U.S. and Panama.
Antes de salir de su puesto la ex Embajadora de EEUU en Panam, Barbara J. Stephenson, se reuni con altos funcionarios del gobierno expresndole su preocupacin porque empresarios estadounidense estn siendo atacados por el Sistema Judicial de Panam. Estas reuniones guardan relacin con el aumento de los casos judiciales altamente cuestionable contra empresarios, determinados por una variedad de causas, a saber, la persecucin de casos penales, adems de las causas civiles monetarias. Aunque la embajadora dej claro que, si bien en el territorio de Panam los empresarios norteamericanos deben respetar las leyes de este pas, seal un caso en particular de prudencia extrema.
La ex embajadora destac el caso de un hombre de negocios que tuvo un accidente de trnsito hace cuatro aos, camino al aeropuerto y enfrenta una demanda civil de $500,000 por daos. El conductor del otro vehculo result herido en el accidente y tres meses despus, un mdico forense dio exactamente 30 das incapacidad convirtindola as en un asunto de la Autoridad del Trnsito. Sin embargo, el caso termin en los tribunales Municipales, donde el Juez Principal es cuado y puso una medida cautelar al empresario. Se conoce que todos los informes de medicina forense donde consta que la persona se recuper plenamente fueron retirados de las actas oficiales y solamente quedaron los de su doctor privado, Franciso Sanchez Cardenas. Fuentes confirman que el defensor de la vctima es el mismo bufete legal que enfrent y destruy a la Procuradora, Vega y Alvarez.
A pesar de un vista fiscal que no es un asunto penal, y por lo menos tres apelaciones por la misma ministerio publico todavia esperando una respuesta para que anular el caso el juez suplemento conden al hombre de negocios a un ao de prisin. Las recursos de annulard aporta por el ministerio publico son por exceso en el poder e incluso el imputado no haber sido notificada para la audiencia.
El nuevo embajador, Phyllis Powers, afirm claramente el aumento de este tipo de denuncias y advirti que estaba afectando negativamente la capacidad de inversin de las empresas americanas y las relaciones durante la audiencia de confirmacin del Tratado de Libre Comercio ante el Congreso. Hombres de negocios de EEUU estn advirtiendo sobre el sistema judicial en Panam de manera abierta y muchos de ellos no quieren alejarse.
Es evidente que esta preocupacin tiene sus races directamente en el Congreso de EEUU, que asume la tarea de ratificar el acuerdo de libre comercio entre EEUU y Panam.
