Kike Martinelli asks to return to Panama on a private flight; permission depends on the Minsa

Kike Martinelli asks to return to Panama on a private flight; permission depends on the Minsa

Luis Enrique "Kike" Martinelli Linares, son of ex-president Ricardo Martinelli (2009-2014), requested authorization to enter the country on a humanitarian flight, the day after having entered the two bonds - one for $2 million and the other for $5 million - to avoid being detained as part of the investigations in the Odebrecht and Blue Apple cases, respectively.
Luis Eduardo Camacho González, a lawyer for Martinelli Linares, sent a note on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 to Foreign Minister Alejandro Ferrer, in which he states that his client, who currently has a release bond, requests to return to Panama in a private flight that would land in Albrook, the Scarlet Martínez de Río Hato airport or any Panamanian airport today.

Camacho González wrote that his client is traveling with his wife Marelisa Garuz Adames and their two minor daughters.

The family will travel on the plane with the registration N362XP, in the name of Overseas Transcom Corp. Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, United States, but with an address in Jacksonville, Florida. The N362XP aircraft last flew from Cartagena to Panama on March 16 and has been at the Albrook airport ever since.

The lawyer alleges humanitarian and legal reasons: Due to the world situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, they could not remain in the country they were in, so it is necessary to return to their country with their family, since their bail has been duly recorded in their respective courts, says Camacho González.

On the same day, June 23, the director of Foreign Legal Affairs and Treaties of the Chancellery, Vladimir Franco, answered the note and replied to the attorney that he must address his request to the Ministry of Health, since that is the entity that authorizes or denies the entry into the country of each humanitarian flight.

In the event that the humanitarian flight is authorized, it will be subject to verification and compliance with the health and safety protocols approved by the corresponding authorities, Franco said.

The whereabouts of Luis Enrique Martinelli is currently unknown, although in November 2018 he was detained with his brother, Ricardo Alberto Rica Martinelli Linares, in Miami, Florida.

The authorities then reported that they had no visa to stay in the United States. The Panamanian Foreign Ministry requested the extradition of both brothers to answer for the Blue Apple and Odebrecht cases.
