The legal defense of businessman and former governor of Cocle Richard Fifer tries to give a twist to trial for alleged withholding of workers' dues employers of the Social Security Fund (CSS) and questioned by whichhe [Fifer] is the only person arrested in the case.

In the two hearings in the Court of Appeals in Cocle, Marilyn Melgar, lawyer Fifer, has made the question publicly: "Why Fifer is the only detainee if there is another person who was the legal representative of Petaquilla Gold and has no injunction? ".

Melgar mentioned the name of Rodrigo Esquivel Klein, who, she said, "had complete control of Petaquilla Gold and was the one who was withholding quotas".

Fifer and Esquivel are investigated in the process being conducted by the First Anticorruption Prosecutor for allegedly withholding quotas of CSS, for $ 3.3 million through the Infrastructure Development Company Panama, S.A., a subsidiary of Petaquilla Gold.

The prosecutor asked Tania Sterling far country Esquivel prison for this case, but the judge was not granted the guarantees on the grounds that cooperated in the process. In addition, the CSS not quarreled.

Roberto Moreno Esquivel defense lawyer denied that his client has withheld dues. He noted that his client has no injunction in the process, because from the beginning he appeared voluntarily to the prosecution and explained that made a payment arrangement with the CSS before leaving the position in the company.

Despite these signs of Moreno, the defense will insist Fifer point the questions about the possible involvement of Esquivel in retaining quotas CSS.

And it is that both Fifer and Esquivel also are investigated in the Sixth Anticorruption Prosecutor in another process also alleged withholding of dues, estimated at $ 3 million.
