Two masked men armed, entered the house of a family in Las Lajas in Las Cumbres and took away computers, luxury watches, other valuables, and cash, after killing two dogs. So far no arrests have been made. Neighbors in the area told TVN News that is not the first time this kind of robbery has happened, although most of the houses are participating in the neighborhood watch program. Some of the houses have taken extreme security measures such as with the installation of razor wire, tall fences, and surveillance cameras, but residence agree there should be more police patrols in the area.

Panama's Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture held a press conference yesterday to announce that everything is ready to kick off the biggest and most important trade fair in the country, Expocomer 2010, which will be held from 3 to 6 March at the ATLAPA Convention Center. This year Expocomer will feature the participation of countries like Taiwan, Mexico and India, as well as the People's Republic of China, Colombia and Korea who also form part of the group of countries that will "once again honor us with their presence," said Inocencio Galindo, president of the Organizing Committee for Expocomer 2010. Forums, trade missions, individual events and a select program tailored to the needs of visitors, provide additional incentives for exhibitors and buyers participating in the fair that will help to consolidate its international prestige. Among the side events to be held within the framework of Expocomer - there will be a symposium lecture titled "Crisis Management" with the participation of five recognized panelists and five former American presidents, moderated by renowned CNN in Spanish journalist Alberto Padilla and the former presidents Francisco Flores of El Salvador, Rafael Callejas of Honduras and Ernesto Samper of Colombia. Also, for the third consecutive year, the CCIAP together with the National Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation (SENACYT) will present the National Award for Innovation. This award is given to Panamanian companies and innovative entrepreneurs for their noted commercial or industrial activities. The slogan this year is "Expocomer, much more than a fair: a country event." This international trade exhibition has grown in the last 28 years and now the ATLAPA Convention Center has already become small, which is why organizers closely follow and support the government's initiative to build a new convention center to be consistent with the needs and requirements of the development occurring in Panama.

Not wasting time. Newly appointed Attorney General Giuseppe Bonissi reported to work today at the headquarters of the Public Ministry to begin the coordination of some of his first acts as the man in charge of the institution. Bonissi intends to take action immediately - among those being changes to the staff, audits, and basic needs. On RPC Radio Bonissi said in some cases he would accept the resignations of some of the prosecutors who have "made their positions available" and that others he would analyze. With regard to high profile cases, Bonissi said "that's an expression that does not exist in legal terms," however he said they would apply all speed as required by law. Nedelka Diaz, who replaced Rigoberto Gonzalez as the General Secretary, also reported to work on Saturday. Source: Telemetro Reporta)
Luis Alberto Arboleda Dutary was detained by Traffic officers of the National Police while driving a red Hyundai with registration number 503804 at the entrance to La Lajas de Chame.

This system indicated Arboleda Dutary had a pending arrest order, number 699 of the Fourth Criminal Court, dated 11 June 2003. He also had an additional arrest warrant pending, number 6826 from the Third Circuit Prosecutor's Office of Panama, dated 22 October 2007.

By Todd J. Gillman for the Dallas Morning News - This is not an endorsement. The latest wrinkle in the Ralph Hall congressional race is a bit of unabashed name dropping by an opponent in the GOP primary. Challenger Jerry Ray Hall sent out a press release today arguing that the longtime incumbent, who is the oldest member of the U.S. House, needs to retire -- and if voters pick him, he can hit the ground running. "Jerry already has many Texas politicians as friends," the announcement says. "Jerry' [sic] contacts encompass friends in the Senate and Congress, Senator John Cornyn, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Congressman John Culberson, Congressman Mac Thornberry, Congressman Ron Paul, and many other elected officials. Jerry doesn't need to start from scratch learning who can help, he already knows making him the most experienced and connected candidate." To illustrate the point, the announcement includes a photo of Jerry Ray Hall with Culberson, a Houston lawmaker -- implying an endorsement or at least some level of support which, it turns out, isn't the case. "Ralph Hall is a close personal friend and a great Congressman. He has my full support in the upcoming primary elections," Culberson said through an aide. Asked about the photo, Jerry Ray Hall said of Culberson. "I have not asked him for his support as of yet he probably would hold off because Ralph is still running. He is just a good friend over many years."

By TOM BENNING / The Dallas Morning News WASHINGTON – Congressional candidate Jerry Ray Hall boasts of ponying up $500,000 of his own money to defeat longtime incumbent Rep. Ralph Hall in March's Republican primary. That is no mistake, said Jerry Ray Hall, who isn't related to the congressman. He said he is waiting until this week to funnel the money into his campaign. That way, his funding isn't listed in the most recent campaign finance reports and his opponents are left guessing, he said. "It's called a plan of action," he said. "There is nothing like being on a stealth mode." The filing deadline for the most recent reports was Jan. 31, for activity in the period ending Dec. 31. So Jerry Ray Hall could've transferred the cash weeks ago, and his fellow candidates would not have been the wiser until the next deadline to report donations – Feb. 18. If Jerry Ray Hall keeps his word, he will probably be the best funded of Ralph Hall's five challengers. With only four weeks left until the primary, he wouldn't specify how he was going to spend the money other than to use "any media I can get my hands on."

"It's a sad moment because I studied law and aspired to have by rights acknowledged," said Ana Matilde Gomez who was suspended from the position of Panama's Attorney General today, Friday, 5 February 2010. "From day one my rights have been violated," Gomez told reporters who were waiting outside of the Attorney General's office across the street from the Parque Porras. "I'm not destroyed," said Gomez, who, along with officials from the Public Ministry - walked out the front door of the institution. Outside, a white Lexus was waiting for her. Deception - "I regret that the nine judges of the [Supreme Court] have not spoken out," Gomez said, referring to the resources of reconsideration she filed to stop the suspension from office. Because, she said, "the law is on my side and I have not committed any crime." But she added that "history has its own destiny for each individual." Thus, Gomez said: More than the hope of returning to the position of Attorney General, what remains now is "the hope than justice will prevail." (Source: La Prensa)

Murder and robbery at sea. Yesterday morning Lisandro López made it to shore near El Embarcadero in Juan Díaz after having spent hours keeping himself afloat, as the only survivor of three who were robbed at gunpoint aboard a fishing boat named "El Sol." Upon reaching land, Lisandro told the inhabitants of El Embarcadero what had happened and he asked them to call the police. On Tuesday night, near Paitilla, the three fishermen were aboard "El Sol" when they were surprised by another boat with three aboard who took the fish they had caught and their boat. "We came upon three men in a boat and they asked us if we could give them fuel, but we refused to give them help," he said. He added that suddenly they were threatened with a weapon and ordered to jump into the water, so he jumped into the water and swam. Soon he came upon Captain Ángel Ceferino García, with whom he swam for awhile, but later he got a cramp and sank. "I heard some shots and do not know what happened to the other man," said Lopez. Following these statements, the National Police and SINAPROC conducted a search but did not find the other two bodies. When Lisandro made it to shore he asked the people in the area to give him food because he was exhausted. (Source: Dia a Dia)

The regional office of the National Civil Protection System in Colon ordered the closure of Devil's Beach on Fort Sherman in Panama where two people drowned last weekend. Jaime Ospina, SINAPROC regional director, said the beach area was cordoned off and swimmers are forbidden from using the area because it's not safe. According to the official, they will coordinate with other sectors of security to prevent swimmers from entering the area. (Source: Telemetro Reporta)
