Demetrio Papadimitriu
Demetrio Papadimitriu is a former Panamanian politician who served as the Minister of the Presidency from 2009 to 2012. He has been in the news recently for his legal maneuvers seeking to exclude himself from the ongoing Odebrecht corruption case, in which he faces allegations of money laundering related to bribes paid by the Brazilian construction giant. Papadimitriu contends that he has already been investigated regarding these claims and was cleared of wrongdoing by the Contraloría. His legal team has filed an appeal, asserting that he should not be subject to double jeopardy.
