Panamanian authorities are investigating potential territorial control by criminal groups, specifically a structure referred to as the ‘Filipino Mafia’ (R14). The investigation centers around financial flows and determining the origin of funds potentially linked to criminal activity. Prosecutors believe the money is a crucial element in understanding the group’s operations and connections. The focus is on whether these funds support the group's alleged control of street-level crime in Panama City. Authorities are working to establish a concrete link between the money and the criminal activities attributed to the organization. This investigation represents an effort to disrupt the alleged criminal network and uncover its financial backing. Further details are pending as the investigation progresses.
