Sons of Panamas ex-president deny bribery allegations
December 28, 2016
PANAMA CITY: Two sons of Panamanian ex-president Ricardo Martinelli denied on Monday reports that they had received $6 million intended as a bribe for their father from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht.
Ricardo Martinelli Linares and Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares said in a statement that news reports linking them to a $6 million payment aimed at securing substantial contracts for Odebrecht were groundless.
Their father, who was president from 2009 to 2014, has been living in voluntary exile in Miami, Florida. Panama is seeking his extradition to face allegations of graft and spying on political opponents.
The brothers statement was published on the Twitter account of the former president, who confirmed its authenticity to AFP without providing any details.
