Ernesto Perez Balladares Will Not Post $5 Million Dollar Bond to Make Bail
(Panama-Guide) - Source - La Critica - Former Panamanian president Ernesto Perez Balladares said yesterday he would not post a $5 million dollar bond as established by the Second Tribunal of Justice in order to be released from house arrest on bail. Perez Balladares's lawyer Guillermina McDonald said in a statement his decision is based on the fact they consider the amount of bail established by the Superior Tribunal is unfair. "It results in a denial of freedom for the former president, a right belonging to every citizen," said McDonald.
