Panamá esperará a que Francia complete el proceso judicial contra el exgeneral Manuel Antonio Noriega antes de tomar algún tipo de acción al respecto, informó hoy el vicecanciller panameño, Francisco lvarez de Soto.

El viceministro indicó a medios de prensa que Panamá no es parte del proceso de extradición que se le sigue al exdictador Noriega, por lo que se esperará a que se complete el mismo y luego ser notificado oficialmente, para proceder como corresponde.

"Este es un proceso que se desarrolla de acuerdo con el procedimiento judicial de Francia; son ellos los que determinarán los tiempos, formas y las notificaciones que correspondan", aseveró el vicecanciller.

Añadió que una vez se den las notificaciones, Panamá procederá como corresponde.

Estados Unidos dio hoy su aprobación para que Noriega, que esta presone en Francia, fuera extraditado a Panamá, notificación hecha al exhombre fuerte panameño minutos antes de que el Tribunal de Apelación de París tratara el asunto en una audiencia.

Noriega está encarcelado en París desde 2010, adonde llegó desde los Estados Unidos, y actualmente cumple una pena de siete años por blanqueo en Francia de dinero del narcotráfico.

Entre 1990, luego de ser derrocado por una invasión estadounidense a Panamá, y 2010, Noriega estuvo encarcelado en EEUU por narcotráfico.
