Ex-mayor’s corruption hearing delayed

A PRELIMINARY hearing for former Mayor of Panama Bosco Vallarino and businessman Alexandre Ventura Nogueira on corruption charges has been delayed.

The case was delayed because the case has been moved from the 10th to the 11th criminal court.

Another of the reasons was because Vallarino recently changed lawyers.

Ventura Nogueira is accused of giving the former mayor $6,000 in exchange for a concession to build municipal parking lots.
