Riccardo Francolini, former chair of the board of directors of the state-owned Caja de Ahorros (CA) is facing trial for his role in the granting of a loan by the bank to the consortium HPCContratasP & V, for the alleged construction of a convention center in Amador. Francolini has been in preventive detention in El Renacer since October 12 last year. The prison has been a recent temporary home to over a score of alleged malefactors under investigation for involvement in self-enrichment activities during the previous administration, many of them braying “political persecution.” Some of them are destined to return for longer spells and share the facilities, with former Supreme Court judge Alexandro Moncada Luna and other luminaries attempting to dodge their day in court. El El Renacer in Balboa, once housed deposed military dictator Manuelo Noriega. Moncada Luna is serving a five-year sentence, but other charges mat be looing in the wings. Once the bail is entered, Francolini will regain his freedom, at least for a while. In May, he was granted bail of $200,000 by Judge Vilma Urieta. The decision was appealed by the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office. The decision of the judge was supported by the Second Superior Court of Justice but bail was increased to $1 million, a fraction of the amounts involved in the alleged malfeasance. The ruling was supported by the magistrates María de Lourdes Estrada and Adolfo Mejía. The accused “should have proceeded with greater zeal and care in the management of public funds, given that in the end it turned out that the money loaned was diverted to third parties, without having at that time the guarantees or guarantee that protected said loan, together with the fact that, according to what appears from the procedural records, it was he who referred the HPCContratasP & V client to the banking entity, ” said a press release from the Judicial Branch. The bulletin does not specify if Francolini has any precautionary measures once the bail is entered. The record shows that the bank’s Board of Directors chaired by Francolini, approved two lines of credit one for $20 million and another for $10 million, which “did not have some requirements inherent to this type of loan, … as highlighted in the internal audit report of the banking institution,” said the judges. Finally, $9 million was disbursed. Of that amount, a company of Francolini would have received $500,000. Similarly, others charged by the prosecution stated that Francolini referred the consortium, represented by the ex-vice president of the Republic, Felipe Pipo Virzi, Ricardo Ricki Calvo and Manuel Morales Diez. Valdes and Clare. Little left to smile about They are all being Investigated for the alleged commission of crimes against the public administration. The prosecution is also investigating the other members of the Board of Directors of the CA and manager Jayson Pastor and his deputy Rodrigo Arosemena Pinogerente along with the founders of the Financial Pacific (FP), brokerage West Valdés and Iván Clare, among others.

In an October 5 ruling, special alternate judges Alina Hubiedo and Zaida Cárdenas confirmed the decision of the 14th Criminal Court, which took the case, on July 16.. The magistrates considered that the prosecution practice after the expiration of the investigation period was not a ground for annulment of the process as argued by Francolini in the appeal, through his lawyer Carlos Carrillo who is also a member of the Martinelli defense team in the wiretap trial “In this regard, it is important to clarify that the proceedings or proceedings carried out outside the term established in Article 2033 of the Judicial Code are not sanctioned with nullity …”, saids the ruling. Francolini is linked to the case -according to the prosecution- because through the company Goldline Overseas Business, SA – of which he is the final beneficiary – $250,000 was transferred in favor of the Jal Offshore investment account in Financial Pacific. The prosecution suspects possible of money laundering in the transactions received by the Jal Offshore Ltd. account, because they came from persons and companies that were not linked to the account. On May 21st, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor ordered the detention of Francolini, but the 14thh Criminal Court granted him a $100,000 bail Seventeen 17 other people, are linked to the investigation including six ex-directors of Financial Pacific, the former vice president Felipe Pipo Virzi facing numerous probes, and Cristóbal Salerno who has already been convicted in a multi-million dollar corruption case.
