Country arrest for former Social Security bosses
Country arrest for former Social Security bosses
THE FORMER DIRECTOR of Panama’s Social Security Fund (CSS) is the latest high ranking official of the previous administration to face restrictions on his movements.
After questioning by the Third Anti-Corruption Prosecutor on Friday September 11, Guillermo Sáez- Llorens was placed under country arrest and ordered to report to authorities every 15 days. He is accused of crimes against public administration for renting locations in Juan Diaz from a local businessman for over $3,600 a month for three years. The space was allegedly never used.
Anti Corruption Prosecutor Zuleyka Moore ordered the former official to remain at the address he listed at the hearing.
The measure was also applied to the former Assistant Director of the CSS Marlon de Sousa, who was investigated on Thursday.
In July 2012, the CSS rented 32 stores in El Cruce, Juan Diaz to move drugs from Curundú deposits that would be demolished for the construction of Metro Line 1. The demolition never took place.
