Belgis Castro Given House Arrest in Corruption Case
(Panama-Guide) By Yessika Valdes for the Panama America - The judges of the Supreme Court (CSJ) decided a few minutes ago to grant relief to former Education Minister Belgis Castro. In an extraordinary sesson of the full court, held this Saturday morning at the Supreme Court of Justice, the court decided that the arrest warrant issued by the Second Anti Corruption Prosecutor against the former minister is legal, but they also decided to apply an interim measure - house arrest - instead of making him remain in prison while he awaits trial on the several investigations pending against him for corruption and embezzlement.
