Rogelio Saltarín

Rogelio Saltarín was a prominent jurist who served as an advisor to the Ministry of the Presidency during the government of former President Juan Carlos Varela. He played a controversial role in legal matters that led to accusations of creating a 'parallel prosecution' structure, which was criticized for potentially undermining judicial independence. Saltarín passed away in December 2018, but his legacy remains a focal point in discussions about legal reforms and the politicization of judicial processes in Panama.
