The Social Security Fund (CSS) announced yesterday at a press conference that there is a payment arrangement with companies Petaquilla Gold, S.A., Panama and Infrastructure Development, S.A., whose president and legal representative is the entrepreneur Richard Fifer.
The Sixth Anticorruption Prosecutor investigates Fifer for allegedly withholding employers contribution, process that had been detained since last February at the headquarters of the National Police in the capital.
However, the judge Cocle Guarantee Albelis Herrera changed the preventive measure preventive detention and imposed a ban from leaving the country, hearing in Penonomé on Monday under the rules of adversarial criminal justice system.
The judge's decision was appealed by the prosecution and the appeal will be decided today, Thursday, in another hearing.
SETTLEMENT OF PAYMENT
Humberto Osorio, deputy director of Legal Counsel of the CSS, said that "there is no arrangement of any payment" with Fifer, and explained that to achieve such agreement the employer owes the institution must pay between 15% and 20 % of the total amount of debt, and is between 24 months and 48 months to honor the entire commitment.
The official recommended Fifer agree on a settlement of at least 20% of the debt.
Last week, Fifer published a notice in the media, in which he publicly asked the executing officer of Cocle, Analida Torres, and the CSS, determine "exactly the amount they owe their companies" to state institutions.
In turn, Maria Eduarda Cordoba, lawyer Fifer, endorsed the statement made by the Deputy Director of Legal Services of the CSS as they have not reached a settlement payment, but said this was not possible because the judge implementing the CSS "does not give us the final and correct figure."
Córdoba documents showed that the executive judge of the CSS in Cocle indicates, through the JEC-N-917-2016 report of August 11, 2016, the amount owed by Petaquilla Gold in the period October 2013 to December 2014 is $ 2 million 827 000 793; while the debt of Panama Infrastructure Development, S.A., for the period October 2013 to January 2015 is $ 2 million 623 thousand 671.
However, the defense Fifer said that these figures do not match the JEC-N-918-2016 report of August 11 this year, which indicated that the mining Petaquilla Gold due to the CSS $ 3 million 333 000 632 and Panama Infrastructure Development SA, $ 3 million 159 thousand 926.
