Officers from the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Panama traveled to Madrid, Spain, to carry out the extradition of a Panamanian citizen involved in a case of kidnapping, robbery, and criminal association. The man is linked to a kidnapping that occurred on February 3, 2017, in a commercial parking lot in the district of David, Chiriquí province. During the incident, several individuals kidnapped a businessman and demanded a considerable sum of money in exchange for his release. Following an investigation, authorities identified one of the alleged suspects, who managed to leave the country before being apprehended. Due to the activation of Interpol's international protocols across 196 member countries, the suspect was located and arrested in Spain. After his extradition, the man will be made available to the Public Ministry of Panama to continue the judicial process and answer for the crimes committed.
