A Panamanian court has acquitted 28 individuals accused of money-laundering in cases connected to the Panama Papers and "Operation Car Wash" scandals, as announced by the country's judicial branch on Friday. Judge Baloisa Marquinez issued the ruling, ordering the lifting of precautionary measures against all defendants. Additionally, she canceled one criminal process due to the death of an unnamed defendant.
The court did not disclose the identities of those acquitted. Ramon Fonseca, co-founder of the now-defunct law firm Mossack Fonseca along with German national Jurgen Mossack, passed away in May following hospitalization since early April.
Mossack Fonseca gained international attention in 2016 when leaked confidential documents revealed offshore accounts in tax havens linked to prominent figures such as former Argentine President Mauricio Macri, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and football star Lionel Messi.

Judge Marquinez imposed fines of 100 balboas ($100) each on 10 witnesses who failed to comply with summonses. She noted that evidence retrieved from Mossack Fonseca's servers did not adhere to the chain of custody requirements.
Regarding "Operation Car Wash," a significant anti-corruption investigation originating in Brazil, Judge Marquinez determined that there was insufficient evidence to prove that illicit funds from Brazil entered Panama with the intent to conceal crimes. The probe, launched in 2014, uncovered extensive corruption networks across Latin America, leading to the imprisonment of numerous political and business leaders, including several former presidents.
