On Sunday, December 5 Guarantees, Judge Teodolinda Cardoze, charged 57 people, arrested in Operation Fisher with money laundering and illicit association to commit a crime.

In the Fisher operation, the Public Ministry and the prosecution detained alleged members of a criminal network associated with the Gulf Clan. Among the procedures carried out by the authorities, over $10 million were seized; a beach house in Río Hato (Coclé), valued at $1 million; 11 luxury vehicles and 4 yachts.
