Panamanian Officials Linked to Heroin Ring Claims Surface
A former U S intelligence official presents a document alleging General Omar Torrijos of Panama and his brother Moises Torrijos have ties to a Latin American heroin trafficking network. The report claims millions deposited in Swiss banks and connections to Panamanian officials. State Department and White House officials dispute the charges. A 1972 subcommittee report noted possible high-level Panamanian links but did not name Torrijos. Drug enforcement says a significant portion of U S heroin enters via Panama.
