Editor's Comment: This is the case of the $25,000 floating check which could have been used by an ex-president to buy a supreme court decision. The Supreme Court complained that Cornejo should not be doing the investigation and filed the criminal complaint. The only people who can order the removal of a sitting prosecutor are the justices of the supreme court. So, the same justices that filed the complaint are now going to decide if Anti-Corruption Prosecutor Cornejo should stay in her job, the same guys who she was investigating for being corrupt. Go - friggin' - figure. And then these same justices have the balls to get indignant when someone accuses them of being corrupt! Amazing. Simply amazing.
Little League is Over: Someone please inform Panama's Supreme Court that they can no longer continue to act like Panama is a small little backwater banana republic where no one really gives a rat's ass about corruption. At last count there could be about $200 billion dollars of direct foreign investment pouring into this place in the next dozen years or so, and the guys with that much money don't what to have to worry about corrupt Supreme Court judges. Or at least, please post a price list to make things easier. Sheesh...

La procuradora, Ana Matilde Gómez, envió este viernes a la Sala Penal de la Corte la solicitud para separar del cargo a la fiscal segunda Anticorrupción, Maribel Cornejo, dentro del caso que se le sigue tras supuestamente investigar a magistrados sin tener facultades legales para ello.
Fuentes del Ministerio Público indicaron que la petición está incluida en la querella interpuesta el 20 de junio pasado por la presidenta de la Corte, Graciela Dixon.
Hasta que los magistrados de la Sala Segunda de lo Penal no fallen al respecto, Cornejo seguirá en su cargo.
La Sala Penal está integrada por los magistrados Dixon, AnÃbal Salas y Esmeralda de Troitiño. Los dos primeros avalaron la querella contra Cornejo, mientras que Arosemena no. Salas, empero, fue recusado tras ser designado para decidir un incidente de controversia interpuesto contra la orden de indagar a la fiscal acusada..
