EX-PRESIDENT  Ricardo Martinelli who is approaching his sixth month behind bars, far removed f  from his luxury waterside Miami mansion with ample time to consider the possible consequences of being tried in Panama for illegal wiretapping  is looking at resigning from the Central American Parliament (Parlacen),  where he sought refuge when he left office and was sworn in as a deputy to the  assembly which he had labeled a “den of thieves,” But, like the man he admires,  Donald Trump, what is said on the hustings is not a promise of fulfillment.

The reasons why Martinelli would resign from Parlacen are according to his lawyer Sidney Sitton his rights have been violated in the Supreme Court and what is sought is to be the regular system using the new accusatory system by the Public Ministry, which could mean starting the two-year-old process from scratch.

According to Sitton, the decision has already been made by the former resident. Sitton  told El Siglo that in the next few days they will present a letter  to Parlacen notifying  the resignation of Deputy  Ricardo Martinelli from “the den”
