The significance of the forthcoming trial for the "punctures" [wiretaps]case is such that the court in the case should consider broadcasting it live so that all Panamanian society can witness the process. This was the case when the Supreme Court of Justice handled the case, but when it went down to the ordinary courts, Panamanians could not see what was happening in the courtroom.

 We all know what happened in the end, but it is important - precisely, to avoid the suspicion that the previous trial generated - to know what happens in the entire course of the trial. On the other hand, in order to avoid the defendant's evasiveness, the court should also evaluate new precautionary measures against him. No one in Panama is alien, thanks to their own publications on social networks, to the life of parties and parties that the accused has so that, at the time of the trial, pull up excuses that prevent the process from continuing, always issued by friendly doctors, who likewise show little respect for justice.

And it is that all this seeks to prolong the case until they reach what they desperately seek: the prescription of the criminal action. Therefore, it is necessary that every time you try to evade justice, the terms of the criminal action are also suspended. – LA PRENSA, Jun 27.
