Plan To Collect Nickels To Pay Ana Matilde Gomez's Fine Stirs Controversey

(Panama-Guide) - La Estrella - The payment of a $4,000 dollar fine imposed on former Attorney General Ana Matilde Gomez by the Supreme Court of Panama has generated a clear dispute between her backers, and those who would dismiss it after she said she would not give a penny to the Supreme Court. Panamanian lawyer Miguel A. Bernal is preparing a committee to collect money to pay the fine - a nickel at a time - and Carlos Zabala, a former candidate for mayor of Panama and critic of Gomez, says he and his friends will pay the $4,000 dollar fine to put an end to Gomez's "show."
