Clash Between Martinelli and Perez Balladares
(Panama-Guide) By EDUARDO MENDOZA for La Prensa - Former Panamanian President Ernesto PĂ©rez Balladares hinted yesterday during an interview given to the Panama America newspaper that the current President Ricardo Martinelli was behind recent allegations linking him to a company dedicated to the operation of games of chance. According to Perez Balladares all of this is due to the fact that Martinelli is a shareholder of the Thunderbird company, which operates the Fiesta Casino in Panama.
