Cosy Ochy deals revealed by Martinelli lawyer
DAVID OCHY, owner of Transcaribe Trading (TCT), whose trucks once blocked delivery of the La Prensa newspaper is back in the media spotlight.
On October 9, 2012 he stated that he had no links to The reigning government of Ricardo Martinelli, in response to investigative reports by La Prensa revealing that his company was one of those which won direct contracts and tenders for works during the Martinelli administration.
He later sent a fleet of trucks to block the entrances to La Prensa to sop delivery of the newspaper.
Lawyer Evelyn Vargas Reynaga, who created partnerships for the Martinelli family, during questioning on March 6 before the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office investigating alleged bribes paid by Odebrecht through Swiss banks, revealed that during Martinelli’s presidential term (2009- 2014), his son, Luis Enrique Martinelli
Linares, asked TCT to construct a hangar in Albrook for the Yellow Wing company.
Vargas Reynaga said that TCT finished building the hangar, after which he built a second hanger under the Yellow Wing agreement. One was for Ochy and the other for the Martinelli family.
Both were under the name of The Yellow Wing company,” she said.
The company TCT obtained contracts for more than $400 million in the Martinelli government for the construction of public infrastructures, with reports of major over budget expenditures.
