Panama News: Corruption, Sports, and Social Issues

A woman was shot… Containers full of drugs. A godson of Josefa reports that now, with the bill the government has put in scanners to detect and combat drug trafficking, he doesn't want to hear any more about containers full of drugs in Pichi. No one can deal with this mafia, except maybe ask Osiris, who denounced corruption in the driving schools controlled by Canatra and was sent on vacation, carefully watched with no return.

Sports Stimuli. They tell Josefa that the list of athletes receiving sports incentives from the two million 'panchos' allocated is a secret for everyone. There are several cases in the prosecutor's office, including at Rico Cedeño Stadium.

Chinese Laundering. Two little Chinese brothers are in the sights of the Public Ministry for running a money-laundering operation in Panama, Canada, and Venezuela through societies and businesses. They are demanding that those at the House of Sports dare to publish on the web what the secret is.

The woman from Capira is leaving behind her own headquarters and has the support of all the membership. Hopefully that technological wall will really work and the drug mafia won't stick its tongue out at us as usual.

Another 'Toad Face' Story. We were told that 'Toad Face', the boss of the 'tongos' in Darien, denounced for assaulting a minor, has other files for mistreatment cases in Bocas del Toro and Panama. They say that since he is dating a prosecutor from the same place, and the one in charge this month was his partner in the police, everything is kept very well guarded.

Things of my Panama. A country with budgets over 30 billion dollars, with significant economic growth in the region according to the World Bank, however, two indigenous children drown in the fury of the waters in a sector where the word 'bridges' does not exist and does not seem to matter.

Presentation of 'Varelaleaks'. This Thursday, October 30, the distinguished journalist Demetrio Olaciregui presents his work, 'Varelaleaks'.

Transport Mafia. The people from Canatra pressured and threatened until the project to liberalize public passenger transport concessions fell through. Afterwards, he came as director and left a pile of works that to this day are not finished.

The event will take place at five in the afternoon at the Ernesto J. Castillero National Library in Omar Park. Will the friends of golf and the queen of COP be on the list?

The Playboy. Josefa found out that a certain 'Mario P', alias 'Playboy', was appointed at the House of Sports in the turtle government, with an office just to attend to deputies and representatives. Get to know the truths of Mr. Juan Carlos Varela's government.

Against Sexual Exploitation. To contribute to the discussion on the scourge of sexual exploitation, the Ministry of Public Security and its bodies are participating in the 'IV Panamanian Scientific Congress against the Sexual Exploitation of Children, Adolescents, and Adolescents' held at the University of Panama and organized by the Vice-Rectorate of Research and Postgraduate, the Institute of Human Rights, Justice and Peace, and Mides.

The Entry. The Truth Data from La Verdad Panama for today, Thursday, October 30, 2025, was first published in La Verdad Panama. They say that, apparently, they invested millions of illicit dollars in several supermarket chains of which they are owners.

Coming Strong. They say that Yanibel is coming strong to the CD for the year 2026.
