Resolution

The Deputy Prosecutor of the Investigation and Case Monitoring Section of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office resolved a request filed by Kevin Moncada Luna, counsel for Lisa, S.A., regarding the status of a commission sent to the Judicial Investigation Directorate (DIJ) to obtain address information for the law firm Galindo, Arias y López (GALA), the registered agent of Villamorey, S.A. The Prosecutor confirmed that the commission was prepared on February 25, 2025, and that the office is awaiting the DIJ's response.

Procedural Context

The effort to locate GALA follows investigative steps ordered by the Prosecutor's Office in prior resolutions. In the resolution of June 3, 2024, the Prosecutor ordered Villamorey and GALA to produce records. The persistent difficulty in notifying and obtaining cooperation from these entities prompted the involvement of the DIJ to physically locate GALA. This effort runs parallel to Lisa, S.A.'s attempts to serve Juan Luis Bosch Gutierrez, whose address in Guatemala was confirmed by his own defense counsel on March 20, 2025, as reflected in the request for international judicial assistance filed the same day.

Ruling

• Communicate to Kevin Moncada Luna the Prosecutor's considerations regarding the status of the commission before the DIJ.

Legal Basis

• Articles 22, 25, and 220 of the Political Constitution of Panama -- constitutional basis for the exercise of criminal prosecution and procedural guarantees.
• Articles 3, 5, 10, 14, 19, 68, 70, 73, 93, 98, 272, and 273 of the Criminal Procedure Code -- provisions governing the Public Prosecutor's authority during the investigation phase and location procedures.
