The controversial episode between the former president and one of the witnesses, former deputy José Luis “Popi” Varela,  in the vicinity of the Accusatory Penal System (SPA) in Plaza Ágora, Panama City has led the  judges to call for sanity, both inside the courtroom and outside the SPA

In addition, they have announced that the witnesses from now on, can be escorted by the security of the SPA and that they can leave through alternate doors.

It will be the witness, who has the freedom to take protection or not.
