Criminal Complaint: Lisa accused Villamorey of judge intimidation

On May 10, 2023, Lisa, S.A. formally filed a supporting criminal complaint against Villamorey, S.A., its legal representative Ramiro López Nimatúj, and its law firm Galindo, Arias y López. Lisa alleges that these parties engaged in unlawful intimidation tactics by presenting a coadjutant complaint against Judge Solange Le Ferrec Malek de Booker, who was presiding over a civil case in which Lisa sought a judicial accounting from Villamorey (Exp. 14606-21). Within 24 hours of that complaint being submitted, the judge reversed a previously issued embargo order, raising concerns of undue influence and psychological coercion.

Lisa claims these actions violate Panamanian Penal Code Articles 360 and 384, concerning intimidation of public officials and false criminal accusations. The complaint also invokes violations of judicial norms, including Article 472 of the Judicial Code and Law 82 on violence against women. Lisa asserts that the complaint against the judge was a baseless and intimidating maneuver intended to derail a legitimate legal process, causing economic harm to the company and damaging the authority and independence of the judicial system.
