Italian Prosecutors have recordings of Martinellis son iin contract talks

According to a recording in the possession of Italian prosecutors, Ricardo (Rica) Martinelli Linares, son of President Ricardo Martinelli, had discussions with Italian businessmen Valter Lavítola and Mauro Velocci about government contracts.

Velocci was the representative of the Italian company Svemark and says La Prensa,the recording confirms the son's participation in negotiations with Velocci over the construction of modular prisons. It also provides details of the delivery of a luxury helicopter that was for the president's personal use.

The younger Martinelli jokes with Lavitola about the possibility of the conversation being recorded by Italian authorities, apparently unaware that that was exactly what was happening.
Velocci has confirmed he was at the meeting and identified the other two people as Martinelli and Lavitola.
He confirmed that the meeting was held at the headquarters of Super 99 on Feb. 12, 2011
