Resolution 55: Prosecutor admitted Lisa’s complaint against the judge

On June 23, 2025, the Anticorruption Section of Panama’s Public Prosecutor formally admitted Lisa, S.A.'s criminal complaint against former Civil Judge Lesbia Wolfschon Puga. The resolution (No. 55-2025) recognizes that the complaint meets the formal requirements under Article 88 of the Criminal Procedure Code and triggers a preliminary investigation into possible criminal misconduct. Wolfschon is accused of refusing to process an executive proceeding involving Villamorey, S.A., effectively paralyzing the case despite binding legal mandates.

The Prosecutor's Office emphasized that the decision to admit the complaint does not confirm guilt but initiates a process to determine whether Judge Wolfschon violated Article 356 of the Penal Code by neglecting her official duties. The investigation will seek evidence to confirm whether her actions constituted an unlawful obstruction of justice, as claimed by Lisa, S.A., which asserts that the judge’s inaction unjustly delayed enforcement of a court-admitted executive claim.
