Report to the Attorney General Country of Panama
THE Estate of WILSON C. LUCOM
Legal Abuse in Panama Civil and Criminal

The Report clearly shows not only a gross abuse of Panama’s civil law system which has resulted in the complete inability to administer Lucom’s Estate for 20 months. It will show a systematic use of the criminal legal system to resolve civil cases by the threats, terror and personal and financial ruin of the opponent. It will show a legal system where one lawyer with impunity can file more than 13 fraudulent criminal allegations against Lehman in one year accusing him of crimes he never committed; the issuance of two illegal arrest warrants against Lehman in Panama and the issuance of two illegal indictments against Lehman. All of this as a result of the corruption of at least one and possibly two Panamanian Prosecutors.

The morning of January 26th, Attorney Victor Crosbie boarded a plane in San Jose, Costa Rica. The day before he had attended a strategy meeting in a difficult case he had been working on for over one year. He was now returning to Panama. However, he was taking advantage of the fact that his ticket allowed him to make a stopover inMedellin. He had a list of law books that were not available in Panama and that he intended to buy in the Colombian city.

Things were going well for Victor Crosbie. He had been living a sort of exile during part of 2007. In September, the opposing law office in the difficult case had filed a false criminal complaint against him. Although there was no evidence filed against him, a prosecutor had issue an arrest warrant for him. Crosbie was in Florida at that time and could not return to Panama without going to jail. At the end of November, however, the Second Superior Court ruled that the warrant for his arrest was illegal. Rid of that weight on his shoulders, he spent the Christmas holidays at home. Now, a week later, he would be going to Guadalajara, Mexico with his wife for his son’s graduation from medical school. Things changed inMedellin.

“It could have cost me my life,” said Victor Crosbie. The Panamanian attorney recalled what happened to him on January 26th of this year for La Estrella de Panamá, when he was arrested in Medellin, Colombia on a red alert issued by Interpol Panama. The arrest warrant was sent unsigned and without any supporting documentation at Interpol Panama from an opposing law firm in the civil lawsuit regarding the will of millionaireWilson Lucom. The Second Superior Court had ruled the arrest warrant for Crosbie was illegal; nonetheless, the highest level alert was issued to 186 countries, with the statement: “WARNING: PERSON CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.”

Inside the fight for $50 million

TIME MAGAZINE - November 12, 2007
By TIM PADGETT

These are heady days for tiny Panama. It is undertaking a massive expansion of the Panama Canal, luring billions of dollars in maritime and high-tech investment that could make it the Hong Kong of the Americas. But here's the other side: in the past few months, scores of toddlers have died of malnutrition in villages around the country. More than half of Panamanian children under 5 are at risk of suffering the same fate. That's why, say friends of Wilson (Chuck) Lucom, who died last year at 88, the eccentric U.S. millionaire left as much as $50 million in his will for poor children's charities in Panama. It's the largest private gift ever made here. The will doesn't single out which relief organizations will be recipients. But, as the director of a charity that may benefit says, it could have a "tremendous impact on our ability to save these children."
