On Saturday, February 28, 2026, ten Panamanian citizens residing in that country were arrested for acts of propaganda against the constitutional order, as regulated in Article 124 of the Penal Code.
Initial investigations revealed that these individuals had been instructed to enter Cuba for the purpose of making signs with subversive content, contrary to the constitutional order.
Once their objective had been achieved, they were to leave the country and, upon their return to Panama, receive a sum of money that, according to their initial statements, ranged from one thousand to one thousand five hundred dollars for each of them.
Following their arrest, those involved admitted to being the perpetrators of these acts, which were carried out in the capital in the early hours of Saturday, February 28.
Investigations are continuing.
