PANAMA: Martinelli challenged by corruption
Having fought the 2009 election on an anti-corruption platform,
President Ricardo Martinelli last month faced one of the biggest challenges to
the credibility of his government after allegations of an organised crime
network within the attorney general's office (MP) precipitated the resignation
of its chief, Giuseppe Bonissi - a close Martinelli ally. The scandal, which
broke under US pressure, follows US involvement in a major blow to the
reputation of another key institution - the Panama Canal Authority (ACP).
