Panama finance ministry joins consultation on proposed asset-forfeiture law
Panama’s Ministry of Economy and Finance took part in a public consultation on a proposed asset-forfeiture law, the ministry said. Deputy finance minister Jorge Luis Almengor said the proposal would create a new jurisdiction and that the ministry would monitor its role in managing confiscated assets and budget allocations as debate continued.
The proposal could affect the administration of confiscated assets, a matter relevant to enforcement of gambling-related offences.
