The extradition process of ex-president Ricardo Martinelli faces another hiccup with the granting by The US Eleventh Circuit of Appeals of an additional term of 30 days requested by the defense to support an appeal filed to revoke the extraditable status of Panama’s former authoritarian leader under investigation in multiple corruption probes.

The information was communicated by the spokesman and cheerleader of the former president in Panama, Luis Eduardo Camacho, through his Twitter account with a sketch of a softer, gentler client.

Martinelli was declared as extraditable by Judge Edwin Torres and ratified by Judge Marcia Cooke. To face charges of illicit interception of communications of opposition politicians, journalists, and businessmen.

He has been held in a Miami detention center since June 12 last year
