Panama’s bottomless pit

The Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has provided valuable information about Odebrecht. One of the most interesting things that the prosecutors revealed is the fact that the works of the companies have been investigated since they arrived in Panama. In other words, they have not limited themselves to inquiring about the disbursements made by Odebrecht’s Structured Operations Sector (or the so-called Box 2), from where the company’s dirty funds came. What is a pity is that some officials who do their best to investigate these acts of corruption have to deal with judges who should be outside the Judicial Branch, since they seem more enthusiastic about the idea of ​​being able to bury these cases – so that impunity reigns – to get to the bottom, let the truth shine, whoever falls. The judicial system is our greatest shame – not even the corruption of politicians – because it is doubly corrupt who, knowing proven acts of corruption, protects the perpetrators with the cloak of impunity. We hope for a true renewal of this organ of the State, otherwise we will never get out of this bottomless pit in which we have been condemned to live.
