Arrests deepen as Arias cabinet members are rounded up
Panama police seized several members of ousted President Arnulfo Arias's cabinet on warrants as violence from last week's clashes raised the death toll to 17. Foreign Minister Carlos N. Brinn, Finance Minister Rodolfo Herbiuger, Public Works Minister Celso Carbonnel, Education Minister Cristobal Adan Arriola, and presidential secretary Jose Ehrman were taken into custody, per District Attorney Dario Sandoval. The arrests target officials seen as co-signers of the decree scrapping the 1946 constitution, which triggered the unrest and Arias's downfall. Three other former ministers remained jailed from Thursday’s gun battle. The assembly impeached Arias last week and named Vice President Alcibiades Arosemena to replace him.
