Impartiality in the different high-profile processes in Panama cast doubt once more over the credibility of the application of justice in the Public Ministry (MP).
Based on this perception, lawyer and univeristy professor Miguel Antonio Bernal has come to the conclusion that the MP of this country is being managed by the Security Council based in Ancon, led by Rolando López, under President Juan Carlos Varela’s instructions.
He also expressed that he believes that the work of the Security Council is to ensure the interests of who is ruling the country and not the people.
"The arguments used to safeguard the national security are criteria based on the wrong doctrine; they are not legal or institutional criteria for protection of the citizens` rights, but a misguided doctrine of State security", said the lawyer, who added that not only are they demonstrating this through the controversial Odebrecht case, but through a number of processes.
On 13 October 2016 a complaint was filed in the presence of members of the Security Council on the investigation against the Chairman of the Board of Directors of NEXtv and some of the former directors Caja de Ahorros (CA), Riccardo Francolini, about which explanations were being demanded, which are still unanswered by the authorities.
With this incident, lawyer Ernesto Cedeño mentioned that a person outside the file should never have access to this type of process or be present at these hearings, this is a delicate matter.
Lawyer Neftalí Jaén said that the Security Council attached to the Presidency of the Republic is forging case files.
For this reason, he emphasized: "this proves that the security apparatus is used to initiating investigations that have a political tinge".
Alejandro Pérez, former government minister said that it is no wonder that the Security Council forges case files to then prosecute them before the public prosecutor's office.
"It is them who fabricate the files against people who get detained by the public prosecutor's office, in an abusive fashion", he said.
Bernal said that there are many indications to conclude that this government is conducting wiretaps. "They are not protecting us. If you believe that in this country they are not wiretapping… we are wrong. "You cannot be so naive, in here they are wiretapping us and will continue to do so until the citizenship puts an end to this issue", he said.
He warned that there are a series of everyday failures and a deficit in citizen security, reason that the people seem to accept being mistreated, so it is urgent for the citizens to wake up.
Another one who has always denounced that it is Rolando López, of the Security Council, who rules in Panama has been former President Ricardo Martinelli.
In his denunciations on social networks, the former President also expressed that from the Security Council they are intersecting phones and case files for legal proceedings are forged before the Attorney-General of the Nation.
