The "Toro Video" Checkmate
(Panama-Guide) Carlos Estrada Aguilar for La Critica - Former President of Panama Ernesto Pérez Balladares denied the video and audio tapes, which allegedly confirm the payment of bribes in return for the approval of the CEMIS project by Panama's National Assembly, were spying, and said they are recordings that he has had for seven years, and he was waiting for the right situation in the Supreme Court of Justice in order to be able to turn them over to authorities. According to Perez Balladares the impunity has come to an end and those committing illegal acts "have to pay."
