New investigation of Attorney General opened

A  new ex officio investigation of Panama’s Attorney General, Kenia Porcell  was opened last week said The Attorney General of the Administration, Rigoberto González on Wednesday, August 28

According to González, the investigation began after the new revelations that the lawyer of the Odebrecht company  Rodrigo Tacla Durán would have given.

González said that a request has been made to the General Secretariat of the Office of the Attorney General to respond to what they are requesting, referring to the “ judicial assistance that was previously made before the Kingdom of Spain, referring to the statements of this man ”.

He also stressed that already in 2017 an ex officio investigation had been done and at the time it was closed because according to the investigations, it was possible to prove that some of the things he had claimed were not true.

He added that since then Duran has returned to the media and a video has been released, then the Office of the Attorney General has reopened the Odebrecht case.

Tacla Durán said he has “ elements ” referring to the case, of which they were aware, but were not taken into account by the Public Ministry.

Recently Deputy Zulay Rodrigez visited Duran in Spain.
