Gustavo García de Paredes the ex-rector of the University of Panama is facing trial at the request of The Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office. The petition made on Wednesday, February 27  is for an alleged patrimonial injury of $37,000 to the detriment of the University.

In addition to García de Paredes, the prosecutor requested the judgment of another involved party, who was not identified.

García de Paredes told journalists in July 2017, that all the adjustments made in the faculty were “working perfectly”.
