This is how the system works. Last week it also came to light that Vice Mayor Roberto Ruiz Díez fell into the same situation as Carrizo.
8x4 Frozen Accounts On the other hand, the Comptroller General of the Republic of Panama ordered last week the seizure of properties and bank accounts of Carrizo for an amount of $313,818.

Furthermore, brothers Budy and Ralph Attie D’Jamous are also being investigated for their alleged involvement in the Fintek case, related to the management of digital vouchers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
US Ambassador sends a cold message: no one is shielded by their visa The Ambassador of the United States in Panama, Kevin Marino Cabrera, explained how the visa revocation process works, a topic that arises at a time when the United States would have revoked the entry permits of former President José Gabriel Carrizo and the businessmen Budy and Ralph Attie D’Jamous.
Without naming names or confirming cases, the diplomat recalled that visa decisions are not automatic or eternal, and that Washington maintains a system that continuously reviews each holder.
"Visas are a privilege, not a right. The review does not stop after a visa is issued. We re-evaluate if the person continues to meet the requirements. We approve, revoke, and deny visas in accordance with our laws and regulations."
The official stance makes it clear that no one is untouchable and that decisions are made based on national security criteria and compliance with regulations. With this message, Cabrera reminds that if someone stops meeting the requirements, their visa is revoked.
