Panama rejects Interpol request by judicial branch for former president Martinelli

Panama's police rejected a request by the judiciary for a red notice from Interpol for former President Ricardo Martinelli due to his status as a political asylum seeker, as confirmed by police spokespersons.
Martinelli, who served as president from 2009 to 2014, has been inside Nicaragua's embassy in Panama City since a court found him guilty of money laundering.
The Panamanian government announced safe passage for Martinelli to travel to Nicaragua after he received asylum there.
A statement from Panama's authorities confirmed the rejection of the judicial request, citing Interpol rules against red notices for refugees, applying to Martinelli's case.
