A   34-year- old woman facing money laundering charges after being found with over $2 million in cash has had her country arrest revoked and she will be moved from home comfort to preventive detention.

On Thursday, August 9. The Superior Court of Appeals of Panama’s  First Judicial District unanimously rejected  the measure of weekly report and impediment to exit the country that had been decreed by a lower court.

The case is related to the seizure of the money, in several operations carried out in the Betania corregimiento.

The Court also decided to keep the provisional detention measure imposed on her husband, 41.

The Court considered that their relationship is strongly compromised after  $104,000  was found in their vehicle  in addition to the money found in their apartment where

A money counting  machine was found  and other elements connected to “this serious criminal act” ;

The judges shared the view of the Drug Prosecutor's Office, represented by Delia Burgos, of the danger of flight of the woman .

Panamanian authorities reported last week the seizure of $2,160 480 dollars in the Condado del Rey sector of  Betania after making raids on three vehicles and one apartment.
