Panama AG meets with FBI and US Laundering prosecutors

 Panama’s acting attorney general, Javier Caraballo, met on Thursday, July 22, with a delegation from the FBI    and prosecutors from the US Department of Justice.

The US Department of Justice was represented by the Hearing Prosecutor of the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section, Michael Redmann, and the Hearing Prosecutor of the Fraud Section, Michel Culhane Harper.

No further details were provided of the meeting held in the office of Caraballo, who took office as attorney general of the Nation in charge on March 1, but it comes at a time when the US is seeking the extradition from Guatemala of Ricardo Martinelli’s two sons to face Money Laundering charges linked to a former “high official” during Martinelli’s term as president.
