Awaiting Supreme Court Decision in CEMIS Case

(Panama-Guide) By JOSÉ OTERO for La Prensa - While Supreme Court magistrate Oyden Ortega - who is handling the reopening of the CEMIS case - awaits the signatures of the other Supreme Court justices on the opinion he wrote and put into circulation, the lawyers involved are preparing new strategies to keep the case closed. Judicial sources report judge Ortega expects to receive, between next Monday or Tuesday, comments on his draft decision regarding the reopening of the case, which was forwarded to the other eight judges on 23 December 2009, when the full court rejected all seven incidents filed against the decision already taken to reopen the investigation.
