Ernesto Perez Balladares Controlled The Checkbook For Shelf Holding Inc.
(Panama-Guide) By Santiago Fascetto for La Prensa - Although former President Ernesto Pérez Balladares said yesterday he is not the owner of Shelf Holding Inc., the corporation that consistently received sums of money from Lucky Games Ltd., bank records show exactly the opposite: the former head of state was the one who managed the millions of dollars in the bank account Shelf Holding Inc. opened in the Banco Panameño de la Vivienda (Banvivienda). He dispatched checks from his office, written with his own hand, to a wide range of collaborators, politicians, family members, and companies.
