PANAMA CITY, (Reuters) – Panama will investigate a Supreme Court judge on suspicion of selling judicial decisions and abuse of minors, a commission in the National Assembly decided yesterday, in the country’s latest high-profile scandal.
The Credentials Commission found that there were grounds for a case against judge Victor Benavides, who was accused by his ex-driver and bodyguard, Vicente Caballero, of engaging in sexual acts with children and receiving envelopes of cash in return for legal help.
