Ricardo Martinelli Berrocal
Ricardo Martinelli Berrocal is a former President of Panama who has been in the news for being granted a humanitarian exit permit by the Panamanian government, allowing him to travel to Nicaragua as a political asylum seeker despite facing a 128-month prison sentence for money laundering. Martinelli, who has been embroiled in various legal controversies, including the New Business case, sought asylum in Nicaragua under claims of political persecution. His departure marks a significant moment in his ongoing legal battles, including an upcoming trial related to bribery charges linked to the Odebrecht scandal.
